A put option's value for a nonlinear black-scholes equation
Abstract
We study a nonlinear Black-Scholes partial differential equation for
modelling illiquid markets 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.
Use of the put-call parity gave rise to the put option’s current value. These
solutions can be used for pricing a European call and put options respectively
at t ≥ 0 and when c 6= r.
