Abstract—In the history of option pricing, one of the most
significant models is the Black-Scholes model. In this paper,
the classical Black-Scholes model for European and American
options and its two modified forms will be described, which
are nonlinear Black-Scholes model and time-fractional BlackScholes model. The main purpose of this paper is to discuss
those most popular analytical and numerical solutions for
solving each type of Black-Scholes model. Among those
solutions, common schemes will be summarized and the
qualitative analysis of those methods, such as stability and
convergence, will be presented.
Index Terms—Analytical solution, Black-Scholes model,
nonlinear Black-Scholes model, numerical solution, timefractional Black-Scholes model.
