Exponential Time Integration and Second-Order Difference Scheme for a Generalized Black-Scholes Equation

We apply an exponential time integration scheme combined with a central difference scheme on a piecewise uniform mesh with respect to the spatial variable to evaluate a generalized Black-Scholes equation. We show that the scheme is second-order convergent for both time and spatial variables. It is p...

Description
Summary:We apply an exponential time integration scheme combined with a central difference scheme on a piecewise uniform mesh with respect to the spatial variable to evaluate a generalized Black-Scholes equation. We show that the scheme is second-order convergent for both time and spatial variables. It is proved that the scheme is unconditionally stable. Numerical results support the theoretical results.
