Classical explicit finite difference schemes are unsuitable for the solution of the famous Black-Scholes partial differential equation, since they impose severe restrictions on the time step. Furthermore, they may produce spurious oscillations in the solution. We propose a new scheme that is free of spurious oscillations and guarantees the positivity of the solution for arbitrary stepsizes. The...

Using the dynamic programming principle in optimal stopping theory, we derive a semilinear Black and Scholes type partial differential equation set in a fixed domain for the value of an American (call/put) option. The nonlinearity in the semilinear Black and Scholes equation depends discontinuously on the American option value, so that standard theory for partial differential equation does not ...

Families of explicit solutions are found to a nonlinear Black-Scholes equation which incorporates the feedback-effect of a large trader in case of market illiquidity. The typical solution of these families will have a payoff which approximates a strangle. These solutions were used to test numerical schemes for solving a nonlinear Black-Scholes equation.

Option contracts can be valued by using the Black-Scholes equation, a partial differential equation with initial conditions. An exact solution for European style options is known. The computation time and the error need to be minimized simultaneously. In this paper, the authors have solved the Black-Scholes equation by employing a reasonably accurate implicit method. Options with known analytic...

A Computational Analysis of the Black-Scholes Equations by Yifan Wang This paper explores the most decorated option pricing model in recent history of the financial industry: the Black-Scholes Equation. We will first study the framework of the Black-Scholes Equation in detail by introducing its object of evaluation, distinguished assumptions, and deduction of the Black-Scholes partial different...

This work presents a theoretical analysis for the Black–Scholes equation. Given a terminal condition, the analytical solution of the Black–Scholes equation is obtained by using the Adomian approximate decomposition technique. The mathematical technique employed in this work also has significance in studying some other problems in finance theory.

In this paper, Heir-equations method is applied to investigate nonclassical symmetries and new solutions of the Black-Scholes equation. Nonlinear self-adjointness is proved and infinite number of conservation laws are computed by a new conservation laws theorem.
