    From the authors' abstract: Average pricing is one of the main ingredients in determining the payoff associated with an Asian option. Since its beginnings in 1980 much has been written on the European-style Asian, especially with a fixed strike. In this article, we extend the work of Zhu to this exotic option. We present an analytic formula pricing an American-style Asian option of floating type. We also extend a symmetry result established by Henderson and Wojakowski.
