In this paper, we construct a numerical method to the solution of the Black-Scholes partial differential equation modeling the European option pricing problem with regard to a single asset. W e use an explicit spline-difference scheme which is based on using a finite difference approximation for the temporal derivative and a cubic B-spline collocation for spatial derivatives. The derived method leads to a tri-diagonal linear system. The stability of this method has been discussed and shown to be unconditionally stable. The computational performance of the proposed scheme is compared with those obtained by using a scheme based on the radial basis function.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
