Collocation method based on modified ‎cubic‎ B-spline ‎for option pricing ‎models

Abstract

Collocation‎‎ ‎method ‎based ‎on ‎modified‎ cubic B-spline functions ‎has ‎been ‎developed‎ ‎for ‎the ‎valuation ‎‎‎of European‎, ‎American and Barrier options of single ‎asset. ‎The ‎new ‎approach ‎contains ‎‎discretizing ‎of‎ t‎‎emporal ‎derivative‎ ‎using ‎finite ‎difference ‎approximations ‎and ‎approximating‎ the option price with the ‎modified‎ B-spline functions‎. ‎Stability of this method has been discussed and shown that it is unconditionally stable‎. ‎The ‎efficiency ‎of ‎the‎ ‎proposed ‎method ‎is ‎tested ‎by ‎different ‎examples‎‎‎.‎
