In this paper, an accurate and robust numerical algorithm is proposed to invert the volatility function in the fractional Black-Scholes model. First, for the direct problem, considering that the singularity of the payoff function affects the convergence speed of the L1 method, a finite difference method based on the improved L1 method is proposed. This numerical method can effectively recover the convergence of the L1 method, and only sparse tridiagonal linear systems need to be solved during the computation. Moreover, for the inverse problem, considering the time-dependent volatility function, the volatility inversion problem can be formulated as minimizing the loss function. A continuous and piecewise linear volatility function is constructed and a predictor-corrector approach to mitigate potential oscillations is employed. The results of numerical simulations and empirical analyses demonstrate the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method.
