Calibration of Lévy Processes with American Options 269<br />

2. solve first a penalized version of (VIP X ). For a function v ∈ L 2 ((0,X)) we<br />

call E X (v) the function in L 2 (R + ) obtained by extending v by 0 outside<br />

(0,X). We introduce the Sobolev space<br />

V X = {v ∈ L 2 (0,X), E X (v) ∈ V }, (35)<br />

with ‖v‖ VX = ‖E X (v)‖ V . We define the operators A X <strong>and</strong> B X : V X → V ′ X ,<br />

〈A X v, w〉 = 〈AE X (v), E X (w)〉 <strong>and</strong> 〈B X v, w〉 = 〈BE X (v), E X (w)〉.<br />

The penalized problem is to find u X,ε such that<br />

∂u X,ε<br />

+ A X u X,ε + rx(1 − 1 {x>S} V ε (u X,ε )) = 0, t ∈ (0,T], 0
