Using the idea of weighted and shifted differences, we propose a novel finite difference formula with second-order accuracy for the tempered fractional derivatives. For tempered fractional diffusion equations, the proposed finite difference formula yields an unconditionally stable scheme when an implicit Euler method is used. For the numerical simulation and as an application, we take the CGMYe model as an example. The numerical experiments show that second-order accuracy is achieved for both European and American options.
