Barrier Option Pricing

Analysis of PDEs 2013-12-12 v1 Computational Finance

Abstract

We use Lie symmetry methods to price certain types of barrier options. Usually Lie symmetry methods cannot be used to solve the Black-Scholes equation for options because the function defining the maturity condition for an option is not smooth. However, for barrier options, this restriction can be accommodated and a symmetry analysis utilised to find new solutions.
