Abstract
We provide group invariant solutions to two nonlinear differential equations associated with the valuing of real options with utility pricing theory. We achieve these through the use of the Lie theory of continuous groups, namely, the classical Lie point symmetries. These group invariant solutions, constructed through the use of the symmetries that also leave the boundary conditions invariant, are consistent with the results in the literature. Thus it may be shown that Lie symmetry algorithms underlie many ad hoc methods that are utilised to solve differential equations in finance.
