Abstract
It is known that the value of a call option in the case of constant elasticity processes (CEV) with the indicator exceeding the critical is determined in a non-unique way. We show how, based on an already existing mathematical theory concerning the correctness of boundary conditions for degenerate parabolic equations on the semi-axis , this phenomenon can be explained. Namely, for the non-uniqueness is due to the fact that the initial data of the call option are outside the T\"acklind class, and for it is due to the absence boundary condition for .
