Hello, I have the PDE

\frac{-∂v}{∂τ}+\frac{1}{2}σ^{2}ε^{2}\frac{∂^{2}v}{∂ε^{2}}+(\frac{1}{T}+(r-D)ε)\frac{∂v}{∂ε}=0

and firstly I need to seek a solution of the form v=α_{1}(τ)ε + α_{0}(τ) and then determine the general solution for α_{1}(τ) and α_{0}(τ).

I am given that ε=\frac{I}{TS} - \frac{X}{S} and that τ=T-t.

Can anybody help me with this problem?

Thankyou

Hey meghibbert17 and welcome to the forums.

Are you familiar with the idea for transforming the B.S. to a standard PDE heat equation?
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
