Algebraic aspects of evolution partial differential equations arising in financial mathematics
Sophocleous, Christodoulos; Leach, Peter G. L. (2010)In the modelling of various financial instruments, risks, prices of commodities, etc., the end result is frequently an evolution partial differential equation. A remarkable number of these have rich algebraic structures. ...

Algebraic solution of the Stein-Stein model for stochastic volatility
Sophocleous, Christodoulos; O'Hara, John G.; Leach, Peter G. L. (2011)We provide an algebraic approach to the solution of the Stein-Stein model for stochastic volatility which arises in the determination of the Radon-Nikodym density of the minimal entropy of the martingale measure. We extend ...

Application of Lie point symmetries to the resolution of certain problems in financial mathematics with a terminal condition
O'Hara, John G.; Sophocleous, Christodoulos; Leach, Peter G. L. (2013)We demonstrate the power of symmetry in the resolution of some evolution partial differential equations which arise in various aspects of finance. The essential theme is that which Lie promulgated approximately 140 years ...

Bäcklund transformations for generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equations
Kingston, John G.; Sophocleous, Christodoulos (1990)A general class of Bäcklund transformations are considered for equations of the form izy + zxx + f(z,z̄) = 0, where f(z,z̄) is a function of z = x + iy and z̄ = x - iy. The nonlinear forms of this equation that admit such ...

A class of Bäcklund transformations for equations of the type u xy=f(u,ux)
Sophocleous, Christodoulos; Kingston, John G. (1991)The Bäcklund transformation u = F(u′,u′x, u′y) is considered for equations of the form uxy = f(u,ux). The nonlinear forms of f(u,ux) that admit such transformations are completely classified. New Bäcklund transformations ...

Classification of noether symmetries for Lagrangians with three degrees of freedom
Damianou, Pantelis A.; Sophocleous, Christodoulos (2004)The noether symmetries of the Euler-Lagrange equations for a Hamiltonian system with three degrees were classified. All groups were classified that appeared as symmetries of a general Hamiltonians system of n degrees of ...

Classification of potential symmetries of generalised inhomogeneous nonlinear diffusion equations
Sophocleous, Christodoulos (2003)We consider the class of generalised nonlinear diffusion equations f(x)ut = [g(x)unux]x which are of considerable interest in mathematical physics. We classify the nonlocal symmetries, which are known as potential symmetries, ...

Classification of reduction operators and exact solutions of variable coefficient Newell–Whitehead–Segel equations
Vaneeva, Olena; Boyko, Vyacheslav; Zhalij, Alexander; Sophocleous, Christodoulos (2019)A class of the Newell–Whitehead–Segel equations (also known as generalized Fisher equations and Newell–Whitehead equations) is studied with Lie and “nonclassical” symmetry points of view. The classifications of Lie reduction ...

Conservation laws and hierarchies of potential symmetries for certain diffusion equations
Ivanova, Nataliya M.; Popovych, R. O.; Sophocleous, Christodoulos; Vaneeva, Olena O. (2009)We show that the so-called hidden potential symmetries considered in a recent paper [M.L. Gandarias, New potential symmetries for some evolution equations, Physica A 387 (2008) 2234-2242] are ordinary potential symmetries ...

Conservation laws and potential symmetries of systems of diffusion equations
Ivanova, Nataliya M.; Sophocleous, Christodoulos (2008)We classify local first-order conservation laws for a class of systems of nonlinear diffusion equations. The derived conservation laws are used to construct the set of inequivalent potential systems for the class under ...

Continuous and discrete transformations of a one-dimensional porous medium equation
Sophocleous, Christodoulos (1999)We consider the one-dimensional porous medium equation (Formula presented.) We derive point transformations of a general class that map this equation into itself or into equations of a similar class. In some cases this ...

A deductive approach to the solution of the problem of optimal pairs trading from the viewpoint of stochastic control with time-dependent parameters
Charalambous, Kyriakos; Sophocleous, Christodoulos; O'Hara, John G.; Leach, Peter G. L. (2015)In a fairly recent paper (2008 American Control Conference, June 11-13, 1035-1039), the problem of dealing with trading in optimal pairs was treated from the viewpoint of stochastic control. The analysis of the subsequent ...

Differential invariants for quasi-linear and semi-linear wave-type equations
Sophocleous, Christodoulos; Tracinà, Rita (2008)In this paper, we consider the class of wave-type equations utt = f (x, t, u) uxx + g (x, t, u, ux, ut) and two special cases of it. We derive the equivalence transformations for these equations and using these transformations, ...
