摘要
We consider the valuation of Asian options by variational methods; in particular, the value function is seen to satisfy an ultraparabolic variational inequality. A theoretical framework is developed as is a numerical analysis of a finite element implementation. Computations are presented that validate the applicability and efficiency of the method.
