Adaptive time step for Black PDE.


he recipes of this section were not verified because we are using a procedure that makes the issue of time step selection insignificant. We will discover that selection of time step $\Delta t_{n}$ should be made based on the task of the section ( Rebalancing wavelet basis ). However, it is not uncommon to encounter a practical situation when every optimization must be made. Hence, we leave this discussion in place.

According to the proposition ( Convergence of discontinuous Galerkin technique ), we need to keep the product MATH around a constant value for all $n$ .

There are several problems with such task. If we substitute $z$ with $v$ then we run into problem because $q$ -th derivative of $v$ is zero. We may differentiate MATH $\left( q-1\right) $ -times and arrive to MATH then we substitute $z$ for $v$ and replace MATH with MATH However, $v$ is a sum of wavelets MATH and the wavelets have a $C^{1}$ piecewise polynomial representation of second degree for numerical stability reasons. Thus, taking $W_{2}^{1}$ -norm of second derivative is not convenient. Finally, we do not know $v$ until we actually make the time step.

In the section ( Asymptotic expansion for Black equation ) we calculate asymptotic of the solution. We might try to apply the operation MATH to that. However, calculation of asymptotic of sufficient order requires taking high order derivatives with respect to $x$ .

The following procedure might work. We make a first time step at arbitrary small length. The we calculate MATH and use one step finite difference to calculate MATH using values MATH for consecutive $n$ . Thus we get small error from using finite differences and another error from being late by one time period. We compensate by taking smaller general level of $\pi_{n}$ .

Another possibility is finite difference approximation for MATH after $q$ time steps.
