Valuing barrier options using the adaptive discontinuous Galerkin method
This paper is devoted to barrier options and the main objective is to develop a sufficiently robust, accurate and efficient method for computation of their values driven according to the well-known Black-Scholes equation. The main idea is based on the discontinuous Galerkin method together with a spatial adaptive approach. This combination seems to be a promising technique for the solving of such problems with discontinuous solutions as well as for consequent optimization of the number of degrees...
