Elementary function solutions to the Bachelier model generated by Lie point symmetries

Speaker: Dr. Evangelos Melas, Department of Mathematics, University of Thessaly

Abstract: Under the recent negative interest rate situation, the Bachelier model has been attracting attention and adopted for evaluating the price of interest rate options. In this paper we find the Lie point symmetries of the Bachelier partial differential equation (PDE) and use them in order to generate new classes of denumerably infinite elementary function solutions to the Bachelier model from elementary function solutions to it, which we derived in a previous publication.
