Abstract
Importance sampling can greatly increase the precision of Monte Carlo methods, expecially for options depending on several underlying assets. This article discusses a characterization of asymptotically optimal drifts as solutions of a variational problem, which leads to a system of Euler-Lagrange ODEs. The calculation of drifts is discussed for basket options of European and Asian type.File in questo prodotto:
