  2:     American Put Options Pricing using the Black-Scholes Equation

  4:    Background (European Options):
  5:      The standard European option is a contract where the holder has the right
  6:      to either buy (call option) or sell (put option) an underlying asset at
  7:      a designated future time and price.

  9:      The classic Black-Scholes model begins with an assumption that the
 10:      price of the underlying asset behaves as a lognormal random walk.
 11:      Using this assumption and a no-arbitrage argument, the following
 12:      linear parabolic partial differential equation for the value of the
 13:      option results:

 15:        dV/dt + 0.5(sigma**2)(S**alpha)(d2V/dS2) + (r - D)S(dV/dS) - rV = 0.

 17:      Here, sigma is the volatility of the underling asset, alpha is a
 18:      measure of elasticity (typically two), D measures the dividend payments
 19:      on the underling asset, and r is the interest rate.

 21:      To completely specify the problem, we need to impose some boundary
 22:      conditions.  These are as follows:

 24:        V(S, T) = max(E - S, 0)
 25:        V(0, t) = E for all 0 <= t <= T
 26:        V(s, t) = 0 for all 0 <= t <= T and s->infinity

 28:      where T is the exercise time time and E the strike price (price paid
 29:      for the contract).

 31:      An explicit formula for the value of an European option can be
 32:      found.  See the references for examples.

 34:    Background (American Options):
 35:      The American option is similar to its European counterpart.  The
 36:      difference is that the holder of the American option can excercise
 37:      their right to buy or sell the asset at any time prior to the
 38:      expiration.  This additional ability introduce a free boundary into
 39:      the Black-Scholes equation which can be modeled as a linear
 40:      complementarity problem.

 42:        0 <= -(dV/dt + 0.5(sigma**2)(S**alpha)(d2V/dS2) + (r - D)S(dV/dS) - rV)
 43:          complements
 44:        V(S,T) >= max(E-S,0)

 46:      where the variables are the same as before and we have the same boundary
 47:      conditions.

 49:      There is not explicit formula for calculating the value of an American
 50:      option.  Therefore, we discretize the above problem and solve the
 51:      resulting linear complementarity problem.

 53:      We will use backward differences for the time variables and central
 54:      differences for the space variables.  Crank-Nicholson averaging will
 55:      also be used in the discretization.  The algorithm used by the code
 56:      solves for V(S,t) for a fixed t and then uses this value in the
 57:      calculation of V(S,t - dt).  The method stops when V(S,0) has been
 58:      found.
