This paper derives an explicit series approximation solution for the optimal exercise boundary of an American put option by means of a new analytical method for strongly nonlinear problems, namely the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The Black-Sholes equation subject to the moving boundary conditions

An optimal convergence rate O(βx) for an explicit finite difference scheme for a variational inequality problem is obtained under the stability condition Ο 2 βt βx 2 1 using completely PDE methods. As a corollary, a binomial tree scheme of an American put option (where Ο 2 βt βx 2 = 1) is convergent
## Abstract The unique characteristics of employee stock options make straightforward applications of traditional option pricing models questionable. This study extends the standard pricing model to account for the dilution effect, the employees' exercise pattern, and the stateβdependent employee f
