We study Bermudan option pricing under the Gatheral Double Mean-Reverting (GDMR) stochastic volatility model. The model features a variance process together with a stochastic long-run mean variance process and allows Constant Elasticity of Variance (CEV)-type exponents in the diffusion coefficients. This model is attractive since it provides a flexible specification for volatility dynamics. However, the pricing of early-exercise derivatives under the GDMR model remains largely unexplored in the literature. To address this challenge, we adapt a Hybrid Least-Squares Monte Carlo-Partial Differential Equation (LSMC-PDE) framework to the GDMR model and provide a detailed model-specific implementation. Conditioning on simulated variance paths, the pricing problem reduces to a one-dimensional problem in the asset price, which is solved by a Fourier-based approach, while the remaining dependence on the variance variables is approximated by least-squares regression. Our numerical experiments demonstrate that the Hybrid LSMC-PDE approach yields accurate pricing estimates and often lower pricing errors than plain LSMC, particularly for low and moderate numbers of simulation paths, showing the benefit of using the model structure in early-exercise option pricing.

We present two explicit rational formulae for Bachelier, or normal, implied volatility. The formulae take the option price, forward, strike, and expiry as inputs and return the implied normal volatility without iteration. They follow the branch structure of LFK-4, but use the simpler near-the-money variable given by the absolute forward-strike difference divided by the tail time value, avoiding a logarithm and a small-argument Taylor branch in that region. LFK-2026 is the accuracy-oriented formula and approximates reciprocal absolute standardized moneyness directly in the far tail. LFK-2026C keeps the same shifted out-of-the-money rational tail approximation, but splits the near-the-money branch two low degree rationals. In double precision tests both remain close to machine accuracy, while LFK-2026C is the faster scalar implementation on the current benchmark mix.
