This paper proposes a novel approach to solving the Black-Scholes Equation, a fundamental model for stock option pricing. By leveraging Neural Networks, researchers successfully trained models using real-world data from Brazilian companies Petrobras and Vale, demonstrating improved accuracy in forecasting short-term call option prices compared to traditional analytical solutions.

The study uses Neural Networks to solve the Black-Scholes Equation for a specific real-world stock options time series. Real-world data from the stock options market was used as the initial boundary to solve the equation. The results show that the network can learn to solve the Black-Scholes Equation and make more accurate short-term call option price forecasts.
