We propose a new proximal, path-following framework for a class of constrained convex problems. We consider settings where the nonlinear---and possibly non-smooth---objective part is endowed with a proximity operator, and the constraint set is equipped with a self-concordant barrier. Our approach relies on the followin…

A time-dependent double-barrier option is a derivative security that delivers the terminal value φ(ST)φ(S_T) at expiry TT if neither of the continuous time-dependent barriers $b_\pm:[0,T]\to \RR_+$ have been hit during the time interval [0,T][0,T]. Using a probabilistic approach we obtain a decomposition of the barrier opti…
