Integrability, Variational Principle, Bifurcation, and New Wave Solutions for the Ivancevic Option Pricing Model

Abstract

The Ivancevic option pricing model comes as an alternative to the Black-Scholes model and depicts a controlled Brownian motion associated with the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. The applicability and practicality of this model have been studied by many researchers, but the analytical approach has been virtually absent from the literature. This study intends to examine some dynamic features of this model. By using the well-known ARS algorithm, it is demonstrated that this model is not integrable in the Painlevé sense. He’s variational method is utilized to create new abundant solutions, which contain the bright soliton, bright-like soliton, kinky-bright soliton, and periodic solution. The bifurcation theory is applied to investigate the phase portrait and to study some dynamical behavior of this model. Furthermore, we introduce a classification of the wave solutions into periodic, super periodic, kink, and solitary solutions according to the type of the phase plane orbits. Some 3D-graphical representations of some of the obtained solutions are displayed. The influence of the model’s parameters on the obtained wave solutions is discussed and clarified graphically.
