Abstract

The pricing of American call option with transaction cost is a free boundary problem. Using a new transformation method the boundary is made to follow a certain known trajectory in time. The new transformed problem is solved by various finite difference methods, such as explicit and implicit schemes. Broyden’s and Schubert’s methods are applied as a modification to Newton’s method in the case of nonlinearity in the equation. An alternating direction explicit method with second-order accuracy in time is used as an example in this paper to demonstrate the technique. Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency and the rate of convergence of the methods.
