We determine the solutions of a nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation which arises in the modelling of mean-variance hedging subject to a terminal condition. Firstly we establish those forms of the equation which admit the maximal number of Lie point symmetries and then examine each in turn. We show that the Lie method is only suitable for an equation of maximal symmetry. We indicate the applicability of the method to cases in which the parametric function depends also upon the time.

Finite action Yang-Mills solutions on the group manifold
Dereli, T; Schray, J; Tucker, RW (IOP Publishing, 1996-08-21)
We demonstrate that the left (and right) invariant Maurer-Cartan forms for any semi-simple Lie group enable solutions of the Yang-Mills equations to be constructed on the group manifold equipped with the natural Cartan-Killing metric. For the unitary unimodular groups the Yang-Mills action integral is finite for such solutions. This is explicitly exhibited for the case of SU(3).
SYMMETRIC SPACE PROPERTY AND AN INVERSE SCATTERING FORMULATION OF THE SAS EINSTEIN-MAXWELL FIELD-EQUATIONS
ERIS, A; GURSES, M; Karasu, Atalay (AIP Publishing, 1984-01-01)
We formulate stationary axially symmetric (SAS) Einstein–Maxwell fields in the framework of harmonic mappings of Riemannian manifolds and show that the configuration space of the fields is a symmetric space. This result enables us to embed the configuration space into an eight‐dimensional flat manifold and formulate SAS Einstein–Maxwell fields as a σ‐model. We then give, in a coordinate free way, a Belinskii–Zakharov type of an inverse scattering transform technique for the field equations supplemented by a...
EXACT BOUND STATES OF THE D-DIMENSIONAL KLEIN-GORDON EQUATION WITH EQUAL SCALAR AND VECTOR RING-SHAPED PSEUDOHARMONIC POTENTIAL
IKHDAİR, SAMEER; Sever, Ramazan (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2008-09-01)
We present the exact solution of the Klein Gordon equation in D-dimensions in the presence of the equal scalar and vector pseudoharmonic potential plus the ring-shaped potential using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method. We obtain the exact bound state energy levels and the corresponding eigen functions for a spin-zero particles. We also find that the solution for this ring-shaped pseudoharmonic potential can be reduced to the three-dimensional (3D) pseudoharmonic solution once the coupling constant of the angular ...
Gardner's deformations of the Boussinesq equations
Karasu, Atalay (IOP Publishing, 2006-09-15)
Using the algebraic method of Gardner's deformations for completely integrable systems, we construct recurrence relations for densities of the Hamiltonians for the Boussinesq and the Kaup-Boussinesq equations. By extending the Magri schemes for these equations, we obtain new integrable systems adjoint with respect to the initial ones and describe their Hamiltonian structures and symmetry properties.
A new integrable generalization of the Korteweg-de Vries equation
Karasu-Kalkanli, Ayse; Karasu, Atalay; Sakovich, Anton; Sakovich, Sergei; TURHAN, REFİK (AIP Publishing, 2008-07-01)
A new integrable sixth-order nonlinear wave equation is discovered by means of the Painleve analysis, which is equivalent to the Korteweg-de Vries equation with a source. A Lax representation and an auto-Backlund transformation are found for the new equation, and its traveling wave solutions and generalized symmetries are studied.
