A penalty-based method from reconstructing smooth local volatility surface from American options

This paper is devoted to develop a robust penalty-based method of reconstructing smooth local volatility surface from the observed American option prices. This reconstruction problem is posed as an inverse problem: given a nite set of observed American option prices, nd a local volatility function...
