101) is satisfied if ∀???? = 1, … , ????, 16 |???????? | ≤ 1. Basically the consistency error is defined by the orders of the finite difference schemes used for discretization. 104) 38 A Workout in Computational Finance Denoting ( ???????? = 4Δ????ℎ−2 sin2 we can write ???????? = 1 − ???????? 2(???? + 1) ) ≥ 0, ???????? ≤ 1. 106) which shows that for 1 ≤Θ≤1 2 the Θ-scheme is stable for all ℎ and Δ????. 107) 2(1 − 2Θ) ℎ2 holds. We can conclude that if the scheme is consistent and stable, then it is convergent with the same order the consistency error shows.

One way to construct such finite difference formulae for the first and higher derivatives for different orders of accuracy is based on Taylor series expansions. For clarity of presentation, we restrict ourselves to one dimension and omit the time index. Later in this chapter we will come back to the more general 9 The number of intervals is therefore ???????? in each spatial and ???? in the time dimension. Finite Differences and the Black-Scholes PDE 25 case. Consider the expansion of the functions ???? (???? + ℎ) and ???? (???? − ℎ), ℎ ′ ???? (????) + 1!

40) Here, we will focus on equidistantly spaced grids; when adaptivity is required, the finite element method described in Chapter 7 is preferred. 41) and the time grid points are calculated using the time step size Δ????, ???????? = ????Δ????, Δ???? = ???????????????? . 42) A function ???? (????1 , … , ???????? , ????) can be represented by its values on the grid using (???? + 1)Π????????=1 (???????? + 1) points, { ( )} ???? (????1 , … , ???????? , ????) → ???????????? … ???? = ???? ????1 ????1 , … , ???????? ???????? , ???????? . 1. If the form of the function ???? is unknown, its derivatives need to be approximated numerically.
