In this paper, we study a nonlinear partial differential equation that models the one-factor term structure option-pricing for large agents from the Lie symmetry stand point. This equation was modelled by Jonsson and Keppo (Appl Math Financ 9:261-272, 2002) and is a nonlinear modified Black-Scholes partial differential equation. We first determine an optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras. We then use it to obtain symmetry reductions and families of group-invariant solutions of the underlying equation.Mathematics Subject Classification. 35A09, 35C05, 35C06, 76M60.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
