Abstract

In this paper we focus on the subdiffusive Black Scholes model. The main part of our work consists of the finite difference method as a numerical approach to the option pricing in the considered model. We derive the governing fractional differential equation and the related weighted numerical scheme being a generalization of the classical Crank-Nicolson scheme. The proposed method has 2α2-\alpha order of accuracy with respect to time where α(0,1)\alpha\in(0,1) is the subdiffusion parameter, and 22 with respect to space. Further, we provide the stability and convergence analysis. Finally, we present some numerical results.
