We consider a two-asset non-linear model of option pricing in an environment where the correlation is not known precisely, but varies between two known values. First we discuss the non-negativity of the solution of the equation. Next, we…

We study the problem of option pricing and hedging strategies within the frame-work of risk-return arguments. An economic agent is described by a utility function that depends on profit (an expected value) and risk (a variance). In the…
