This study proposes a forward Monte Carlo method for the pricing of American options. The main advantage of this method is that it does not use backward induction as required by other methods. Instead, the proposed approach relies on a wise determination about whether a simulated stock price has ent

We revisit the stochastic mesh method for pricing American options, from a conditioning viewpoint, rather than the importance sampling viewpoint of Broadie and Glasserman (1997). Starting from this new viewpoint, we derive the weights proposed by Broadie and Glasserman (1997) and show that their wei
## Abstract In this article, the authors reexamine the Americanβstyle option pricing formula of R. Geske and H.E. Johnson (1984), and extend the analysis by deriving a modified formula that can overcome the possibility of nonuniform convergence (which is likely to occur for nonstandard American opt
We describe an improvement of Han and Wu's algorithm [H. Han, X.Wu, A fast numerical method for the Black-Scholes equation of American options, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 41 (6) (2003Anal. 41 (6) ( ) 2081Anal. 41 (6) ( -2095] ] for American options. A high-order optimal compact scheme is used to discretis
