Abstract

This paper deals with the numerical approximation of American-style option values governed by partial differential complementarity problems. For a variety of one- and two-asset American options we investigate by ample numerical experiments the temporal convergence behaviour of three modern splitting methods: the explicit payoff approach, the Ikonen-Toivanen approach and the Peaceman-Rachford method. In addition, the temporal accuracy of these splitting methods is compared to that of the penalty approach.
