Pricing American drawdown options under Markov models

X Zhang, L Li, G Zhang - European Journal of Operational Research, 2021 - Elsevier
The drawdown in the price of an asset shows how much the price falls relative to its
historical maximum. This paper considers the pricing problem of perpetual American style …

Collective progress: Dynamics of exit waves

D Cetemen, C Urgun, L Yariv - Journal of Political Economy, 2023 - journals.uchicago.edu
We introduce a framework for studying collective search by teams. Discoveries are
correlated over time and governed by a Brownian path, where search speed is jointly …

Optimal stopping problems for maxima and minima in models with asymmetric information

PV Gapeev, L Li - Stochastics, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
We derive closed-form solutions to optimal stopping problems related to the pricing of
perpetual American withdrawable standard and lookback put and call options in an …

Optimal double stopping problems for maxima and minima of geometric Brownian motions

PV Gapeev, PM Kort, MN Lavrutich… - … and Computing in Applied …, 2022 - Springer
We present closed-form solutions to some double optimal stopping problems with payoffs
representing linear functions of the running maxima and minima of a geometric Brownian …

Three-dimensional Brownian motion and the golden ratio rule

K Glover, H Hulley, G Peskir - 2013 - projecteuclid.org
Abstract Let X=(X_t)_t\ge0 be a transient diffusion process in (0,∞) with the diffusion
coefficient σ>0 and the scale function L such that X_t→∞ as t→∞, let I_t denote its running …

Double continuation regions for American options under Poisson exercise opportunities

Z Palmowski, JL Pérez, K Yamazaki - Mathematical Finance, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
We consider the Lévy model of the perpetual American call and put options with a negative
discount rate under Poisson observations. Similar to the continuous observation case, the …

Perpetual American standard and lookback options with event risk and asymmetric information

PV Gapeev, L Li - SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics, 2022 - SIAM
We derive closed-form solutions to the perpetual American standard and floating-strike
lookback put and call options in an extension of the Black--Merton--Scholes model with …

Discounted optimal stopping problems for maxima of geometric Brownian motions with switching payoffs

PV Gapeev, PM Kort, MN Lavrutich - Advances in Applied Probability, 2021 - cambridge.org
We present closed-form solutions to some discounted optimal stopping problems for the
running maximum of a geometric Brownian motion with payoffs switching according to the …

Optimal stopping problems in diffusion-type models with running maxima and drawdowns

PV Gapeev, N Rodosthenous - Journal of Applied Probability, 2014 - cambridge.org
We study optimal stopping problems related to the pricing of perpetual American options in
an extension of the Black-Merton-Scholes model in which the dividend and volatility rates of …

A capped optimal stopping problem for the maximum process

A Kyprianou, C Ott - Acta Applicandae Mathematicae, 2014 - Springer
This paper concerns an optimal stopping problem driven by the running maximum of a
spectrally negative Lévy process X. More precisely, we are interested in capped versions of …
