We describe and present results from a finite-volume (FV) parallel computer code for forward modelling the Maxwell viscoelastic response of 3-D, self-gravitating, elastically compressible Earth to an arbitrary surface load. implement conservative, control volume discretization governing equations using tetrahedral grid in Cartesian geometry low-order, linear interpolation. The basic starting honours all major radial discontinuities Preliminary Reference Model (PREM), models are permitted...

Abstract A new collocation method based on quadratic splines is presented for second order two‐point boundary value problems. First, O ( h 4 ) approximations to the first and derivative of a function are derived using quadratic‐spline interpolant u. Then these used define an perturbation given problem. Second, perturbed problem approximation at interval midpoints which optimal 3‐J global estimate j th error derived. Further, 4‐J bounds obtained certain superconvergence points. It should be...

SUMMARY We develop highly efficient parallel PDE‐based pricing methods on graphics processing units (GPUs) for multi‐asset American options. Our approach is built upon a combination of discrete penalty the linear complementarity problem arising because free boundary and GPU‐based alternating direction implicit approximate factorization technique with finite differences uniform grids solution algebraic system from each iteration.

Space–time adaptive and high-order methods for valuing American options using a partial differential equation (PDE) approach are developed in this paper. The linear complementarity problem that arises due to the free boundary is handled penalty method. Both finite difference element considered space discretization of PDE, while classical differences, such as Crank–Nicolson, used time discretization. based on an optimal collocation method, main computational requirements which solution one...
