Hi,
I have the following PDE[itex]-S\frac{\partial\vartheta}{\partial\tau}+\frac{1}{2}\sigma^2\frac{X^2}{S}\frac{\partial^2\vartheta}{\partial\xi^{2}} + [\frac{S}{T} + (r-D)X]\frac{\partial\vartheta}{\partial\xi}[/itex]I am asked to seek a solution of the form [itex]\vartheta=\alpha_1(\tau)\xi + \alpha_0(\tau)[/itex] and give a general solution for [itex]\alpha_1(\tau)[/itex] and [itex]\alpha_0(\tau)[/itex]
where we have
[itex]\tau=T-t[/itex]
and
[itex]\xi=\frac{t}{T}-\frac{X}{S}[/itex]
I have tried doing the partial differentials of [itex]\vartheta[/itex] with respect to τ and ε, but the answer doesn't allow me to get a general solution for the two unknown functions of τ.
If anyone could help i would be really grateful.
Thanks
NOTE: the word 'partial' in the equation should be a symbol for the partial derivative.
