3. American option prices and optimal exercise boundaries under Heston Model–A Least-Square Monte Carlo approach
University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för utbildning, kultur och kommunikationAbstract : Pricing American options has always been problematic due to its early exercise characteristic. As no closed-form analytical solution for any of the widely used models exists, many numerical approximation methods have been proposed and studied. READ MORE

4. Regression-Based Monte Carlo For Pricing High-Dimensional American-Style Options
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysikAbstract : Pricing different financial derivatives is an essential part of the financial industry. For some derivatives there exists a closed form solution, however the pricing of high-dimensional American-style derivatives is still today a challenging problem. READ MORE

5. Pricing a Multi-Asset American Option in a Parallel Environment by a Finite Element Method Approach
University essay from Matematiska institutionenAbstract : There is the need for applying numerical methods to problems that cannot be solved analytically and as the spatial dimension of the problem is increased the need for computational recourses increase exponentially, a phenomenon known as the “curse of dimensionality”. In the Black-Scholes-Merton framework the American option pricing problem has no closed form solution and a numerical procedure has to be employed for solving a PDE. READ MORE
