摘要
This paper is devoted to the derivation of some regularity properties of pricing functions for American options and to the discussion of numerical methods, based on the Bensoussan-Lions methods of variational inequalities. In particular, we provide a complete justification of the so-called Brennan-Schwartz algorithm for the valuation of American put options.
