Title: Valuation of American VIX Call Options under the Generalized Mixture Model 

Abstract: In this paper, we study the pricing of American VIX call option under
generalized mixture of 3/2 and 1/2 (Heston) models.  According to Detemple and
Kitapbayev (2018), there are two optimal stopping boundaries under this mixture model.
By taking the Laplace-Carson transform of the free-boundary problem, we were able to
obtain numerically the optimal stopping boundaries and the price of American VIX call
option.  In addition, we also derive a closed form formula for the price of a perpetual
American VIX call option.
