Free boundary and optimal stopping problems for American Asian options
We give a complete and self-contained proof of the existence of a strong solution to the free boundary and optimal stopping problems for pricing American path-dependent options. The framework is sufficiently general to include geometric Asian options with nonconstant volatility and recent path-dependent volatility models.
متن کاملNumerical Approximations of Stochastic Optimal Stopping and Control Problems
We study numerical approximations for the payoff function of the stochastic optimal stopping and control problem. It is known that the payoff function of the optimal stopping and control problem corresponds to the solution of a normalized Bellman PDE. The principal aim of this thesis is to study the rate at which finite difference approximations, derived from the normalized Bellman PDE, converg...
متن کاملOptimal Stopping and Free Boundary Characterizations for Some Brownian
A singular stochastic control problem with state constraints in two-dimensions is studied. We show that the value function is C and its directional derivatives are the value functions of certain optimal stopping problems. Guided by the optimal stopping problem, we then introduce the associated no-action region and the free boundary and show that, under appropriate conditions, an optimally contr...
متن کاملDiscounted optimal stopping for diffusions: free-boundary versus martingale approach
The free-boundary and the martingale approach are competitive methods of solving discounted optimal stopping problems for one-dimensional time-homogeneous regular diffusion processes on infinite time intervals. We provide a missing link showing the equivalence of these approaches for a problem, where the optimal stopping time is equal to the first exit time of the underlying process from a regi...
