Fang, Fang and Oosterlee, Kees Pricing Early-Exercise and Discrete Barrier Options by Fourier-Cosine Series Expansions. We present a pricing method based on Fourier-cosine expansions for early-exercise and discretely-monitored barrier options.

The method works well for exponential Levy asset price models. The error convergence is exponential for processes characterized by very smooth transitional probability density functions.
