Abstract
A refined financial matrix using Gauss-Seidel method for pricing American option under the Black-Scholes model is proposed and justified. The bases for a Gauss-Seidel method to price an American Option under the Black-Scholes model depends on the complete understanding of the discretization process, computation of nearest symmetric positive semidefinite matrices from an arbitrary matrix, in the 2-norm and in the Frobenius norm.
Years back, a lot of researchers have applied Gauss-Seidel method in solving system equations.
Hermitian differential-algebraic system etc. This paper presents Gauss-Seidel method for American option valuation under Black-Scholes model, through a drifted financial derivative system, discretized from Black-Scholes financial PDE. Some numerical difficulties are discussed by illustrative example.
Keywords: Financial PDE, stochastic algorithm, drifted financial derivative system, option pricing, central finite difference discretization, gauss-seidel method, symmetric positive semidefinite
