Abstract

We look at how to reproduce nearly exact bond and forward contract prices with the TR-BDF2 finite difference method applied to the Black-Scholes partial differential equation, with a term structure of interest rates or a term structure of dividends yields. We also show that a careful discretion preserves the put-call parity relationship.
