Abstract:
In this talk, I will start from a basic problem in computational finance, namely the ''American Option Pricing Problem'' by stating the problem and presenting a brief overview of the available approaches to tackle the problem. In the remainder, I will present an asymptotic-numeric approach to approximate the solution which will lead naturally to a class of radial basis functions widely used in the literature of multidimensional scattered data interpolation and approximation. By pointing to some possible research directions in this area, I will close the presentation.
