Abstract

We review in this article pure quantization methods for the pricing of multiple exercise options. These quantization methods have the common advantage, that they allow a straightforward implementation of the Backward Dynamic Programming Principle for optimal stopping and stochastic control problems. Moreover we present here for the first time a unified discussion of this topic for Voronoi and Delaunay quantization and illustrate the performances of both methods by several numerical examples.
