Abstract

The Trapezoidal Rule with Second Order Backward Difference Formula (TR-BDF2) finite difference scheme is applied to the Black-Scholes-Merton PDE on a non uniform grid. American Option Convergence and Greeks stability is studied against studied against popular alternatives, namely Crank-Nicolson and Rannacher time-marching.
