This course discusses all aspects of option pricing, starting from the PDE specification of the model through to defining robust and appropriate FD schemes which we then use to price multi-factor PDE to ensure good accuracy and stability. This three-day course shows how to use the Finite Difference Method (FDM) to price a range of one-factor and many-factor option pricing models for equity and interest rate problems that we specify as partial differential equations (PDEs).

In Physics, to simulate physical system, we usually encounter ordinary or partial differential equations. Indeed instead of calculating $\Delta$, $\Gamma$ and $\Theta$ finite difference approximation at each step, one can rewrite the update equations as functions of: \[ a=\frac{1}{2}dt(\sigma^2(S/ds)^2-r(S/ds)) . I had explored the issue of pricing a barrier using finite difference discretization of the Black-Scholes PDE a few years ago. One can test the accuracy of this method to the finite difference schemes. Oxford Applied Mathematics and Computing Science Series, UK. The PDE pricer can be improved. One of the reason the code is slow is that to ensure stability of the explicit scheme we need to make sure that the size of the time step is smaller than $1/(\sigma^2.NAS^2)$.

The laplace transform of Black-Scholes PDE was taken and the result was inverted using the Talbot method for numerical inversion.
