Title
A two-grid penalty method for American options
Author
Abstract
In this paper we consider the pricing of American options, governed by a partial differential complementarity problem. The differential problem is first approximated by a semi-linear PDE using two distinct penalty approaches which are well known in computational finance. We then initiate the two-grid algorithm by solving the nonlinear problem on a coarse grid and further the linearized in the interpolated coarse-grid solution problem on a fine grid. By means of the maximum principle the algorithm is shown to be of fourth order convergence rate in space. Numerical experiments verify the presented two-grid approach where we draw some interesting conclusions.
