Explanation Given: The given equation is, x y ″ + ( 1 − x ) y ′ − y = 0 . Approach: To derive a series solution about the singular point x 0 of the equation a 2 ( x ) y ″ ( x ) + a 1 ( x ) y ′ ( x ) + a 0 ( x ) y ( x ) = 0 , x > x 0 … ( 1 ) The following steps are given below. 1. Set p ( x ) = a 1 ( x ) a 2 ( x ) , q ( x ) = a 0 ( x ) a 2 ( x ) . If both ( x − x 0 ) p ( x ) and ( x − x 0 ) 2 q ( x ) are analytic at x 0 , then x 0 is a regular point and remaining steps apply. 2. Let w ( r , x ) = ( x − x 0 ) r ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( x − x 0 ) n = ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( x − x 0 ) n + r … ( 2 ) And, using term wise differentiation, substitute w ( r , x ) into equation ( 1 ) to obtain an equation of the form A 0 ( x − x 0 ) r + J + A 1 ( x − x 0 ) r + J + 1 + ... = 0 3. Set the coefficients A 0 , A 1 , A 3 , equal to zero. [Notice that the equation A 0 = 0 is just a constant multiple of the indicial equation r ( r − 1 ) + p 0 r + q 0 = 0 here, p 0 = lim x → 0 x p ( x ) , q 0 = lim x → 0 x 2 q ( x ) , and r 0 = lim x → 0 x 3 r ( x ) .] 4. Use the system of equations A 0 = 0 , A 1 = 0 , ... , A k = 0 to find a recurrence relation involving a k and a 0 , a 1 ,…, a k − 1 . 5. Take r = r 1 , the larger root of the indicial equation, and use the obtained in step 4 to determine a 1 , a 2 ,…, recursively in terms of a 0 and r 1 . 6. A series expansion of a solution to equation ( 1 ) is, w ( r 1 , x ) = ( x − x 0 ) r 1 ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( x − x 0 ) n , x > x 0 … ( 3 ) Where a 0 is arbitrary and the a n ’s are defined in terms of a 0 and r 1 . let x 0 be a regular singular point for y ″ + p y ′ + q y = 0 and let r 1 and r 2 be the roots of the associated indicial equation, where Re r 1 ≥ Re r 2 , then, a. If r 1 − r 2 is not a integer, then there exists two linearly independent solutions of the form, y 1 ( x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 1 , a 0 ≠ 0 , y 2 ( x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ b n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 2 , b 0 ≠ 0 . b. If r 1 = r 2 , then there exists two linearly independent solutions of the form, y 1 ( x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 1 , a 0 ≠ 0 , y 2 ( x ) = y 1 ( x ) ln ( x − x 0 ) + ∑ n = 0 ∞ b n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 1 . c. If r 1 − r 2 is a positive integer, then there exist two linearly independent solutions of the form, d. y 1 ( x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 1 , a 0 ≠ 0 , y 2 ( x ) = C y 1 ( x ) ln ( x − x 0 ) + ∑ n = 0 ∞ b n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 2 , b 0 ≠ 0 Where C is a constant that could be zero. Calculation: Consider the given equation, x 2 y ″ − x ( 1 + x ) y ′ + y = 0 p ( x ) = − x ( 1 + x ) x 2 and q ( x ) = 1 x 2 x = 0 is a regular singular point as both p ( x ) and q ( x ) are analytic at x = 0 and, p 0 = lim x → 0 x p ( x ) = − 1 q 0 = lim x → 0 x 2 q ( x ) = 1 The indicial equation is, r ( r − 1 ) − r + 1 = 0 r 2 − 2 r + 1 = 0 ( r − 1 ) 2 = 0 The roots of the indicial equations are r = 1 with multiplicity 2

3. A market consists of two risky assets with rates of return R₁ and R2 and no risk-free asset. From market data the following have been estimated: ER₁ = 0.25, ER2 = 0.05, Var R₁ = 0.01, Var R2 = 0.04 and the correlation between R1 and R2 is p = -0.75. (i) Given that an investor is targeting a total expected return of μ = 0.2. What portfolio weights should they choose to meet this goal with minimum portfolio variance? Correct all your calculations up to 4 decimal points. (ii) Determine the global minimum-variance portfolio and the expected return and variance of return of this portfolio (4 d.p.). (iii) Sketch the minimum-variance frontier in the μ-σ² plane and indicate the efficient frontier. (iv) Without further calculation, explain how the minimum variance of the investor's portfolio return will change if the two risky assets were independent.

2. A landlord is about to write a rental contract for a tenant which lasts T months. The landlord first decides the length T > 0 (need not be an integer) of the contract, the tenant then signs it and pays an initial handling fee of £100 before moving in. The landlord collects the total amount of rent erT at the end of the contract at a continuously compounded rate r> 0, but the contract stipulates that the tenant may leave before T, in which case the landlord only collects the total rent up until the tenant's departure time 7. Assume that 7 is exponentially distributed with rate > 0, λ‡r. (i) Calculate the expected total payment EW the landlord will receive in terms of T. (ii) Assume that the landlord has logarithmic utility U(w) = log(w - 100) and decides that the rental rate r should depend on the contract length T by r(T) = λ √T 1 For each given λ, what T (as a function of X) should the landlord choose so as to maximise their expected utility? Justify your answer. Hint. It might be…

Please solving problem2 Problem1 We consider a two-period binomial model with the following properties: each period lastsone (1) year and the current stock price is S0 = 4. On each period, the stock price doubleswhen it moves up and is reduced by half when it moves down. The annual interest rateon the money market is 25%. (This model is the same as in Prob. 1 of HW#2).We consider four options on this market: A European call option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5; A European put option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5; An American call option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5; An American put option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5.(a) Find the price at time 0 of both European options.(b) Find the price at time 0 of both American options. Compare your results with (a)and comment.(c) For each of the American options, describe the optimal exercising strategy.
