We propose a novel approach by replacing the traditional weight functions with new functions that assign smaller weights to nodes that are close to discontinuities, while still assigning smaller weights to nodes that are far from the point of approximation. Through this adjustment, we are able to mitigate the undesirable Gibbs phenomenon that appears close to the discontinuities in the classical MLS approach, and reduce the smearing of discontinuities in the final approximation of the original data. The core of our method involves accurately identifying those nodes affected by the presence of discontinuities using smoothness indicators, a concept derived from the data-dependent WENO method. Our formulation results in a data-dependent weighted least squares problem where the weights depend on two factors: the distances between nodes and the point of approximation, and the smoothness of the data in a region of predetermined radius around the nodes. We explore the design of the new data-dependent approximant, analyze its properties including polynomial reproduction, accuracy, and smoothness, and study its impact on diffusion and the Gibbs phenomenon.

The pricing of these options is governed by complex two-dimensional (2-D) variational inequalities that incorporate cross-derivative terms and nonlocal integro-differential terms due to the presence of jumps. Existing numerical methods, primarily based on finite differences, often struggle with preserving monotonicity in the approximation of cross-derivatives–a key requirement for ensuring convergence to the viscosity solution.

Within each timestep, our approach explicitly enforces the inequality constraint, resulting in a 2-D Partial Integro-Differential Equation (PIDE) to solve. Its solution is then expressed as a 2-D convolution integral involving the Green's function of the PIDE. We derive an infinite series representation of this Green's function, where each term is strictly positive and computable.
