A Hybrid Finite Difference Method for Pricing Two-Asset Double Barrier Options

The pricing of the two-asset double barrier option is modeled as an initial-boundary value problem of the two-dimensional Black-Scholes partial differential equation. We use the hybrid finite different method to solve the problem. The hybrid method is a combination of the Laplace transform and a fin...
