Two dimensional Black equation.


n this section we compute the quantityMATHMATHMATH where the MATH are volatilities of the assets (positive real numbers), $\rho$ is the correlation (real number, $-1\leq\rho\leq1$), MATH is an integrable function and $W_{1,t}$, $dW_{2,t}$ are independent standard Brownian motions.

According to the multi dimensional version of the backward Kolmogorov's equation ( Backward equation section) the function MATH is a solution of the problemMATHMATH Similarly to the previous section ( one-dim case) we introduce the processMATH and observeMATH Also,MATHMATH Hence,MATH Therefore, we define the processMATHMATHMATH Conversely,MATHMATH Hence, for the function MATH may be represented as MATH with $w$ being the solution of MATHMATH
