A Computational Technique for Asian Option Pricing Model

Abstract

In the present work, the European style fixed strike Asian call option with arithmetic and continuous averaging is numerically evaluated where the volatility, the risk free interest rate and the dividend yield are functions of the time. A finite difference scheme consisting of second order HODIE scheme for spatial discretization and two-step backward differentiation formula for temporal discretization is applied. The scheme is proved to be second order accurate in space and time both. The numerical results are in accordance with analytical results.
