Abstract

This paper studies an effective finite difference scheme for solving two-dimensional Heston stochastic volatility option pricing model problems. A dynamically balanced up-downwind strategy for approximating the cross-derivative is implemented and analyzed. Semi-discretized and spatially nonuniform platforms are utilized. The numerical method comprised is simple, straightforward with reliable first order overall approximations. The spectral norm is used throughout the investigation and numerical stability is proven. Simulation experiments are given to illustrate our results.
