Finite Difference Schemes and Partial Differential Equations John Strikwerda
Publisher: SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics

Finite elements are discrete approximation schemes for partial differential equations defined on a finite domain Ω . We introduce and elaborate modern and robust finite difference methods that solve pricing problems and that remain stable and accurate for various combinations of input parameters, payoff functions and boundary conditions. If you try to enter this elliptic PDE into NDSolve, Mathematica will vigorously protest. Advanced users can override these options, Consider the following PDE: We seek a solution, f(x,y) on the domain [0,10]x[0,10]. The rate of convergence (or divergence) depends on the problem data and the inhomogeneous function . I did a matrix rank test some time ago, and I also did finite difference scheme for pde and a direct solver using sparse matrix. Instead, you can try to implement a finite difference method. NDSolve switches between integration schemes based on the problem at hand, adapting step sizes and monitoring stiffness as it goes. 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. Finite Difference Scheme for the Heat Equation. We apply a finite difference scheme to the heat equation, , and study its convergence. In both cases, Mathematica was faster (2 times faster in the later case). Mathematical classification of Partial Differential Equation, Illustrative examples of elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic equations, Physical examples of elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic partial differential equations. First, we will divide the domain into a grid.
