This paper studies the pricing of Asian options when the volatility of the underlyingasset is uncertain. We use the nonlinear Feynman-Kac formula in the G-expectation theoryto get the two-dimensional nonlinear PDEs. For the arithmetic average fixed strike Asianoptions, the nonlinear PDEs can be transferred to linear PDEs. For the arithmetic averagefloating strike Asian options, we use a dimension reduction technique to transfer the two-dimensionalnonlinear PDEs to one-dimensional nonlinear PDEs. Then we introduce theapplicable numerical computation methods for these two classes of PDEs and analyze theperformance of the numerical algorithms
