An Analytically Modified Finite Difference Scheme for Pricing Discretely Monitored Options by Guo Luo, Min Huang

“…Finite difference methods are commonly used in the pricing of discretely monitored exotic options in the Black–Scholes framework, but they tend to converge slowly due to discontinuities contained in terminal conditions. We present an effective analytical modification to existing finite difference methods that greatly enhances their performance on discretely monitored options with non-smooth terminal conditions. …”
