Nonlinear Optimization
American options are financial derivatives that give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price up until the expiration date. Unlike European options, which can only be exercised at expiration, American options offer more flexibility as they can be exercised at any time before or on the expiration date, making them generally more valuable in terms of potential profit and risk management.
