Abstract.
A Hölder type stability estimate in the second order Sobolev space of functions is established for the solution of the elliptic obstacle problem with respect to variations of the coefficients of the corresponding differential operator.
In modern finance, this estimate provides results on the sensitivity of a perpetual American option price with respect to variations of the volatilities in the underlying assets prices. To meet the objective of this paper, the stability result with respect to external force functions, which was proved by
J.-F. Rodrigues under the nondegeneracy condition, is generalized to the case of arbitrary functions belonging to the space ,
