Numerical Investigation for the Temporal Fractional Financial Option Pricing Partial Differential Equation Utilizing a Multiquadric Function by Jia Li, Tao Liu, Jiaqi Xu, Xiaoxi Hu, Changan Xu, Yanlong Wei

“…This paper proposes a computational procedure to resolve the temporal fractional financial option pricing partial differential equation (PDE) using a localized meshless approach via the multiquadric radial basis function (RBF). Given that financial market information is best characterized within a martingale framework, the resulting option pricing model follows a modified Black–Sholes (BS) equation, requiring efficient numerical techniques for practical implementation. …”
