“…Redistribution subject to SIAM license or copyright; see http://www.siam.org/journals/ojsa.php as the reaction-diffusion problems [3,4], the nonlinear parabolic complementarity problem [21], and European and American option valuation [2,22]. In order to find a numerical solution for these problems, we can use a discretization method such as the central difference, the piecewise linear finite element, or a finite volume method [21,22] to reduce these problems into (1.1) or (1.2). Then a numerical solution of these problems is obtained by solving (1.1) or (1.2).…”
