black scholes - Merton model riskless self-financing derivation


Suppose dAt=At[μdt+σdWt] (assets' value) under the physical measure, plus the other assumptions of the Merton model.


Suppose further that debt and equity are tradeable assets that satisfy At=Dt+Et and follow processes Dt=D(t,At), Et=E(t,At) for differentiable functions.


By considering a locally risk-free self-financing portfolio of bonds and equity(which by necessity will earn the risk-free rate of return), prove directly that both D, E satisfy the Black-Scholes equation: tf+12σ2A22Af+rAAfrf=0
