Actually, this option can be governed by two-dimensional Black-Scholes partial differential equation (PDE). The Crank-Nicolson scheme is applied to discretize the Black-Scholes PDE in order to derive a linear system. Then, the IMGS iterative method is formulated to solve the linear system. Numerical experiments involving Gauss-Seidel (GS) and Modified Gauss-Seidel (MGS) iterative methods are implemented as control methods to test the computational efficiency of the IMGS iterative method. © 2014 AIP Publishing LLC. %O cited By 0; Conference of 21st National Symposium on Mathematical Sciences: Germination of Mathematical Sciences Education and Research Towards Global Sustainability, SKSM 21 ; Conference Date: 6 November 2013 Through 8 November 2013; Conference Code:106463 %D 2014 %A W.S.
