Derivatives on the Chicago Board Options Exchange volatility index (VIX) have gained significant popularity over the last decade. The pricing of VIX derivatives involves evaluating the square root of the expected realised variance which cannot be computed by direct Monte Carlo methods. Least...

Recently, simulation methods combined with regression techniques have gained importance when it comes to American option pricing. In this paper we consider such methods and we examine numerically their convergence properties. We first consider the Least Squares Monte-Carlo (LSM) method of...

We present a non-parametric Monte-Carlo method for computing the price of an option in an uncertain volatility model. We use the link between second-order BSDE and non-linear second order parabolic PDEs to derive a numerical scheme that gives a fast and accurate estimation of the optimal...

This paper presents a comprehensive extension of pricing two-dimensional derivatives depending on two barrier constraints. We assume randomness on the covariance matrix as a way of generalizing. We analyse common barrier derivatives, enabling us to study parameter uncertainty and the risk...
