Description
Summary:In this paper, we are interested in the effective numerical schemes of the time-fractional Black–Scholes equation. We convert the original equation into an equivalent integral-differential equation and then discretize the time-integral term in the equivalent form using the piecewise linear interpolation, while the compact difference formula is applied in the spatial direction. Thus, we derive a fully discrete compact difference scheme with second-order accuracy in time and fourth-order accuracy in space. Rigorous proofs of the corresponding stability and convergence are given. Furthermore, in order to deal effectively with the non-smooth solution, we extend the obtained results to the case of temporal non-uniform meshes and obtain a temporal non-uniform mesh-based compact difference scheme as well as the numerical theory. Finally, extensive numerical examples are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed compact difference schemes.
