Abstract

In this paper, we briefly review the finite difference method (FDM) for the Black-Scholes (BS) equations for pricing derivative securities and provide the MATLAB codes in the Appendix for the one-, two-, and three-dimensional numerical implementation. The BS equation is discretized non-uniformly in space and implicitly in time. The two-and three-dimensional equations are solved using the operator splitting method. In the numerical tests, we show characteristic examples for option pricing. The computational results are in good agreement with the closed-form solutions to the BS equations.
