Abstract
We present an iterative procedure for computing the optimal Bermudan stopping time. We prove convergence and, as a consequence, the method allows for approximation of the Snell envelope from below. By using duality, we then deduce a convergent procedure for approximating the Snell envelope from above as well. We provide numerical examples for Bermudan swaptions in the context of a LIBOR market model.
