This paper includes a proof of well-posedness of an initial-boundary value problem involving a system of non-local parabolic partial differential equation(PDE) which naturally arises in the study of derivative pricing in a generalized market model which is known as a semi-Markov modulated geometric Brownian motion(GBM) model. We study the well-posedness of the problem via a Volterra integral equation of second kind. A probabilistic approach, in particular the method of conditioning on stopping times is used for showing the uniqueness.
This paper includes an original self contained proof of well-posedness of an initialboundary value problem involving a non-local parabolic PDE which naturally arises in the study of derivative pricing in a generalized market model. We call this market model a semi-Markov modulated market. Although a wellposedness result of that problem is available in the literature, but this recent paper has a different proof. Here the existence of solution is established without invoking mild solution technique. We study the well-posedness of the initial-boundary value problem via a Volterra integral equation of second kind. The method of conditioning on stopping times was used only for showing uniqueness. Furthermore, in the present study we find an integral representation of the PDE problem which enables us to find a robust numerical scheme to compute derivative of the solution. This study paves for addressing many other interesting problems involving this new set of PDEs. Some derivations of external cash flow corresponding to an optimal strategy are presented. These quantities are extremely important when dealing with an incomplete market. Apart from these, the risk measures for discrete trading are formulated which may be of interest to the practitioners.
