Double average options were discussed as examples. The problem is a parabolic one on a finite domain whose equation degenerates into ordinary differential equations on the boundaries. A fully discrete scheme was established by using the Legendre spectral method in space and the Crank-Nicolson finite difference scheme in time. The stability and convergence of the scheme were analyzed. Numerical results show that the method can keep the spectral accuracy in space for such degenerate problems.展开更多

The moving mesh scheme is based on Rnnacher timestepping approach whose idea is running the implicit Euler schemes in the initial few steps and continuing with Crank-Nicolson schemes. With graded meshes for time direction and moving meshes for space direction, the fully discretized scheme is constructed using quadratic interpolation between two consecutive time level for the PDEs with moving boundary. The second-order convergence rates in both time and space are proved and numerical examples are carried out to confirm the theoretical results.展开更多

Using these two boundaries, we can deal with all kinds of situations, especially, some extreme cases, like overhigh volatility, very small volatility, etc, under which the Asian option is usually mispriced in many existing numerical methods. Numerical results show that our boundaries are pretty efficient.展开更多

A fully discrete scheme was established by using the Legendre spectral method in space and the Crank-Nicolson finite difference scheme in time.
