Nonlinear Parabolic Equations arising in Mathematical Finance
This survey paper is focused on qualitative and numerical analyses of fully
nonlinear partial differential equations of parabolic type arising in financial
mathematics. The main purpose is to review various non-linear extensions of the
classical Black-Scholes theory for pricing financial instruments, as well as
models of stochastic dynamic portfolio optimization leading to the
Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. After suitable transformations, both
problems can be represented by solutions to nonlinear parabolic equations.
Qualitative analysis will be focused on issues concerning the existence and
uniqueness of solutions. In the numerical part we discuss a stable
finite-volume and finite difference schemes for solving fully nonlinear
parabolic equations.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1603.0387
