dc.description.abstractAfter the discovery of the fractal structures of financial markets, enormous effort has been dedicated to finding accurate and stable numerical schemes to solve fractional Black-Scholes partial differential equations. This work, therefore, proposes a numerical scheme for pricing doublebarrier options, written on an underlying stock whose dynamics are governed by a non-standard fractal stochastic process. The resultant model is time-fractional and is herein referred to as a timefractional Black-Scholes model. The presence of the time-fractional derivative helps to capture the time-decaying effects of the underlying stock while capturing the globalized change in underlying prices and barriers. In this paper, we present the construction of the proposed scheme, analyse it in terms of its stability and convergence, and present two numerical examples of pricing double knock-in barrier-option problems. The results suggest that the proposed scheme is unconditionally stable and convergent with order O(h 2 + k 2 ).en_US
