Abstract: The Black-Scholes equation is a mathematical model used to calculate the European option prices. This paper studies an inverse problem of option pricing, that is reconstructing time-independent volatility from observed market prices of European call options based on the Black-Scholes equation. The uniqueness and stability of the inverse problem, as well as the regularization solution based on the Tikhonov regularization strategy, are studied. Moreover, numerical experiments with several examples are also performed to illustrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method.
