Smoothing of initial conditions for high order approximations in option pricing

In this article the Finite Difference method is used to solve the Black Scholes equation. A second order and fourth order accurate scheme is implemented in space and evaluated. The scheme is then tried for different initial conditions. First the discontinuous pay off function of a European Call opti...
