We investigate the pricing performance of eight trinomial trees and one binomial tree, which was found to be most effective in an earlier paper, under twenty different implementation methodologies for pricing American put options. We conclude that the binomial tree, the Tian third order moment...

In this paper, we present a generic framework known as the minimal partial proxy simulation scheme. This framework allows for a stable computation of the Monte-Carlo Greeks for financial products with trigger features via finite difference approximation. The minimal partial proxy simulation...

In this paper, we present three new discretization schemes for the Heston stochastic volatility model - two schemes for simulating the variance process and one scheme for simulating the integrated variance process conditional on the initial and the end-point of the variance process. Instead of...

We introduce a new class of numerical schemes for discretizing processes driven by Brownian motions. These allow the rapid computation of sensitivities of discontinuous integrals using pathwise methods even when the underlying densities post-discretization are singular. The two new methods...
