On a numerical approximation scheme for construction of the early exercise boundary for a class of nonlinear Black-Scholes equations

The purpose of this paper is to construct the early exercise boundary for a class of nonlinear Black--Scholes equations with a nonlinear volatility depending on the option price. We review a method how to transform the problem into a solution of a time depending nonlinear parabolic equation defined on a fixed domain. Results of numerical computation of the early exercise boundary for various nonlinear Black--Scholes equations are also presented.
