There are numerous financial problems that can be posed as optimal control problems, leading to Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman or Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Issacs equations. We reformulate these problems as nonlinear PDEs, involving max and/or min terms of the unknown function, and/or its first and second spatial derivatives. We suggest efficient numerical methods for handling the nonlinearity in the PDE through an adaptation of the discrete penalty method Forsyth and Vetzal(2002)[1] that gives rise to tridiagonal penalty matrices. We formulate a penalty-like method for the use with European exercise rights, and extend this to American exercise rights resulting in a double-penalty method. We also use our findings to improve the policy iteration algorithms described in Forsyth and Labahn(2007)[2]. Numerical results are provided showing clear second-order convergence, and where applicable, we prove the convergence of our algorithms. (C) 2022 Published by Elsevier Inc.
