Abstract: We propose a fast and stable numerical method to evaluate two‐dimensional partial differential equation (PDE) for pricing arithmetic average Asian options. The numerical method is deduced by combining an alternating‐direction technique and the central difference scheme on a piecewise uniform mesh. The numerical scheme is stable in the maximum norm, which is true for arbitrary volatility and arbitrary interest rate. It is proved that the scheme is second‐order convergent with respect to the asset price. Numerical results support the theoretical results.
