Approximate Option Pricing
1999
Algorithmica
As increasingly large volumes of sophisticated options are traded in world financial markets, determining a "fair" price for these options has become an important and difficult computational problem. ...
Many valuation codes use the binomial pricing model, in which the stock price is driven by a random walk. ...
Asian options are path-dependent options that are particularly hard to price, and for these we design deterministic polynomial-time approximate algorithms. ...
