Novel Computational Methods and Analysis with Temporal Uniform/Non-Uniform Meshes to Solve Mixed-Type Time-Fractional Black-Scholes Equation
摘要
This work is focused on developing eloquent numerical schemes and their analysis to solve the mixed-type time-fractional Black-Scholes equation (TFBSE), which provides a flexible framework for modeling financial markets with memory effects and multi-scale temporal dynamics. Unlike classical Black-Scholes models, the mixed-type fractional formulation of the Black-Scholes model allows the simultaneous representation of short-term market fluctuations and long-term memory effects frequently observed in asset price dynamics. We first reformulate the mixed-type TFBSE as an equivalent fractional integro-differential equation and construct a scheme based on Crank-Nicolson type discretization. The temporal fractional integral is discretized using piecewise linear interpolation on both uniform and non-uniform meshes, whereas the spatial derivative is approximated using a compact exponential scheme and a Taylor’s compact difference scheme. This leads to a discrete compact scheme that achieves second-order accuracy in time and fourth-order accuracy in space. To further enhance the accuracy, we develop an improved numerical scheme for mixed-type TFBSE that employs the L1-2 method for temporal discretization and a compact difference approach for spatial discretization, ensuring
