Analytic solution of a nonlinear Black-Scholes equation with price slippage
Abstract
We study a nonlinear Black-Scholes partial differential equation
whose nonlinearity is as a result of transaction cost and a price slippage impact
that lead to market illiquidity with feedback effects. After reducing the equation
into a second-order nonlinear partial differential equation, we find that the
assumption of a traveling wave profile to the second-order equation reduces
it further to ordinary differential equations. Solutions to all these transformed
equations facilitate an analytic solution to the nonlinear Black-Scholes equation.
We finally show that the option is always more volatile compared to the stock
when
