✦ Synopsis


In this work, the option pricing Black-Scholes model with dividend yield is investigated via Lie symmetry analysis. As a result, the complete Lie symmetry group and infinitesimal generators of the one-dimensional Black-Scholes equation are derived. On the basis of these infinitesimal generators, the similarity variables and newly explicit solutions of the Black-Scholes equation are obtained by solving the corresponding characteristic equations. Finally, figures for an explicit solution with different dividend yields are presented to demonstrate the novel properties.
