Abstract
We consider the finite difference method applied to a class of financial problems. Specifically, we investigate the properties of the Du Fort and Frankel finite difference scheme and experiment with adaptations of the scheme to improve on its consistency properties. The Du Fort and Frankel finite difference scheme is applied to a number of problems that frequently occur in finance. We specifically investigate problems associated with jumps, discontinuous behavior, free boundary problems and multi dimensionality. In each case we consider adaptations to the Du Fort and Frankel scheme in order to produce reliable results. Copyright
