Popis: We present a new method for obtaining fast and accurate estimates of the price of an American put option by binomial trees. The method is based on the interpolation of suitable values obtained by modifying the contractual strike. A time-saving procedure allows us to derive all the interpolating data from a unique standard backward procedure.
