This paper includes a proof of well-posedness of an initial-boundary value problem involving a system of non-local parabolic partial differential equation(PDE) which naturally arises in the study of derivative pricing in a generalized market model which is known as a semi-Markov modulated geometric Brownian motion(GBM) model. We study the well-posedness of the problem via a Volterra integral equation of second kind. A probabilistic approach, in particular the method of conditioning on stopping times is used for showing the uniqueness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
