Solution of the Black-Scholes equation via the Adomian decomposition method

Abstract

---

The Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) is applied to obtain a fast and reliable solution to the Black-Scholes equation with boundary condition for a European option. We cast the problem of pricing a European option with boundary conditions in terms of a diffusion partial differential equation with homogeneous boundary condition in order to apply the ADM. The analytical solution of the equations is calculated in the form of an explicit series approximation.
