This paper aims to study the asymptotic behavior of double barrier American-style put option prices under an uncertain volatility model, which degenerates to a single point. We give an approximation of the double barrier American-style option prices with a small volatility interval, expressed by the Black–Scholes–Barenblatt equation. Then, we propose a novel representation for the early exercise boundary of American-style double barrier options in terms of the optimal stopping boundary of a single barrier contract.

In this paper, we evaluate American-style, path-dependent derivatives with an artificial intelligence technique. Specifically, we use swarm intelligence to find the optimal exercise boundary for an American-style derivative. Swarm intelligence is particularly efficient (regarding computation and accuracy) in solving high-dimensional optimization problems and hence, is perfectly suitable for valuing complex American-style derivatives (e.g., multiple-asset, path-dependent) which require a high-dimensional optimal exercise boundary.
