Finite differences are especially useful in pricing exotic options. The nature of the option will dictate the specifications of the boundary conditions.
In this section, we will take a look at an example of pricing a down-and-out barrier option with the Crank-Nicolson method of finite differences. Due to its relative complexity, other analytical methods, such as Monte Carlo methods, are usually employed in favor of finite difference schemes.
