Abstract: The numerical solution for pricing American options under stochastic volatility is considered. A new type of 9points finite volume scheme and related operator splitting scheme are proposed. This scheme is proved to satisfy the maximum principle and the error estimates are derived. Numerical results are presented to show the validity of this scheme.

Key words: operator splitting , finite volume, stochastic volatility, American option
