8 Conclusions<br />

We described an operator splitting method for solving linear complementarity<br />

problems (LCPs) resulting from American option pricing problems. We<br />

considered it in the case of the Black–Scholes model, Kou’s jump-diffusion<br />

model, <strong>and</strong> Heston’s stochastic volatility model for the value of the underlying<br />

asset. The numerical results demonstrated that with all these models the<br />

prices can be computed in a few milliseconds on a PC.<br />

As future research one could consider the construction of adaptive discretization;<br />

see [AP05, LPvST07], for example. Also the robustness <strong>and</strong> accuracy<br />

of discretizations for Heston’s model with higher correlations could be<br />

studied. A natural generalization would be to extent the methods for stochastic<br />

volatility models including jumps like the ones in [Bat96, DPS00].<br />
