摘要

This paper proposes a high-order numerical method for pricing arithmetic Asian options under the Black–Scholes PDE framework. The key innovation is the use of a modified fourth-order finite difference scheme to discretize the diffusion term, enhancing spatial accuracy by incorporating both function values and adjacent first derivatives. This formulation is embedded within a cubic B-spline collocation framework, while Crank–Nicolson time integration ensures second-order temporal accuracy. Numerical results confirm the scheme’s stability, consistency, and fourth-order spatial convergence, with a total computational complexity of \(\mathcal {O}(M^2)\) when the number of time steps scales linearly with the M number of spatial grid points.
