Abstract
The time-fractional Black–Scholes model (T-FBSM) is developed to assess price fluctuations in a correlated fractal transmission system. It is applied to price American and European call and put options on non-dividend-paying stocks. This study focuses on numerically solving the T-FBSM for option pricing using a local compact integrated radial basis function method (LCIRBFM). The temporal discretization is accomplished using the second-order shifted Grünwald scheme, while the spatial derivatives are discretized by using a combination of an integrated RBF interpolation and a compact scheme within a sub-domain (stencil). This approach utilizes second derivatives and nodal function values to construct a link between the RBF weights and the physical domain. The convergence and unconditional stability of the semi-discretized time formulation are proven via the energy method in the space. The proposed method demonstrates efficiency, and the numerical results validate the theoretical formulation.
期刊介绍:
Computational Science is a rapidly growing multi- and interdisciplinary field that uses advanced computing and data analysis to understand and solve complex problems. It has reached a level of predictive capability that now firmly complements the traditional pillars of experimentation and theory.
The recent advances in experimental techniques such as detectors, on-line sensor networks and high-resolution imaging techniques, have opened up new windows into physical and biological processes at many levels of detail. The resulting data explosion allows for detailed data driven modeling and simulation.
This new discipline in science combines computational thinking, modern computational methods, devices and collateral technologies to address problems far beyond the scope of traditional numerical methods.
Computational science typically unifies three distinct elements:
• Modeling, Algorithms and Simulations (e.g. numerical and non-numerical, discrete and continuous);
• Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological, physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems;
• Computer and information science that develops and optimizes the advanced system hardware, software, networking, and data management components (e.g. problem solving environments).
