PDE pricing by local volatility

<t>I have implemented PDE pricing of a vanilla call by using a function of local volatility so:I suppose that we have implied volatility function that fit the market very well:Implied_volatility(K,T)=T/100+19%+(15%/sqrt(T))*((0.01*K)^(-0.3)-1)By using Dupire’s formula i can obtain the local volatili...
