An alternative approach to solving the Black–Scholes equation with time-varying parameters

Abstract: In this note we provide a simple derivation of an explicit formula for the price of an option on a dividend-paying equity when the parameters in the Black-Scholes partial differential equation (PDE) are time dependent. With the aid of general transformations, the option value is expressed as a product of the Black-Scholes price for an option on a non-dividend-paying equity with constant parameters, the ratio of the strike price in the time-varying case to the strike price in the constant-parameter case, and a … Show more

“…However, when transformations are introduced, one needs to keep track of changes in the variables and terminal condition and then solve the resulting initial-value problem for the heat equation. A more direct approach was developed recently in [9]. In this approach, the Black-Scholes PDE with time-varying parameters is transformed into a BlackScholes PDE with time-independent but arbitrary parameters.…”

“…In literature, a lot of solution methods have been considered by a good number of researchers. These include: Adomian decomposition method (ADM), variational iteration method (VIM), Modified ADM (MADM), homotopy perturbation method (HPM), Differential transformation method (DTM), projected DTM (PDTM) [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. He's polynomials method was initiated in [26,27] by Ghorbani et al, where the nonlinear terms were expressed as series of polynomials calculated with the aid of HPM.…”
