Spot the mistake in final step of BS solution via PDE approach!
Doing last step -- un-change of variable, where in my case I have
$$k = -\frac{2r}{\sigma^{2}},$$
$$v(\tau, x) = u(\tau, x) \cdot \exp\left(-\frac{1}{4}(k+1)^{2} \tau - \frac{1}{2}(k-1)x\right),$$
$$x ...

Solution of the following PDE using European put option
I'm reading some articles about PDE and I found the following PDE, with $q_1,A >0$:
$g_t(t,y)+ \beta^2yg_y(t,y)+\frac{1}{2}\beta^2y^2g_{yy}(t,y)-q_1 g(t,y)=0 \quad (t,y) \in [0,T), \times (0,+\...

Can we proof the boundary condition for the Black Scholes derived from a replicating Portfolio?
So for Black Scholes we know that the PDE is the follwing: ${\frac {\partial V}{\partial t}}+{\frac {1}{2}}\sigma ^{2}S^{2}{\frac {\partial ^{2}V}{\partial S^{2}}}=rV-rS{\frac {\partial V}{\partial S}}...

Hyperbolic and Elliptic PDEs in Quant Finance
Parabolic PDEs (e.g. heat equation) are closely linked to finance via the Feynman Kac Theorem.
Do other types of PDEs appear in quant finance? Elliptic PDEs don't contain a time dimension (so perhaps ...

Canonical text on numerical PDEs in finance
I am looking for a text similar to Glasserman's Monte Carlo Methods in Financial Engineering, but with a focus on numerical methods for PDEs. Glasserman's book seems to cover a lot for what is ...

Trying to measure "radius of diffusion" in the stock market
Good evening!
I'm quite new to quantitative finance (coming from the math world!), so please excuse me if I'm not familiar with every concept!
I am currently studying the Black-Scholes equation, ...
