Black-Litterman proof with P=I and Omega=tau*Sigma
Elsewhere on this site (link), Richard notes that
\begin{equation}
\Pi_{BL} = \frac{1}{2} \Pi + \frac{1}{2}Q,
\end{equation}
so long as we set $ P = I $ (where $I$ is the identity matrix) and $\Omega ...

How to derive the Greek theta from Black-Scholes solution formula?
Which are the steps to compute the theta greek from the BS solution:
$$c(t, x) = xN(d_+(T-t,x)) - K e ^{-r(T-t)}N(d_-(T-t,x))$$
with:
$$ d_\pm (T-t, x) = \dfrac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{T-t}} \left[ \ln \...

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}}...
