Use of radial basis functions for meshless numerical solutions applied to financial engineering barrier options

A large number of financial engineering problems involve non-linear equations with non-linear or time-dependent boundary conditions. Despite available analytical solutions, many classical and modified forms of the well-known Black-Scholes (BS) equation require fast and accurate numerical solutions....
