Question:

Let P(S,τ ; X,r,q) denote the price function of an American put option. Show that P(X,τ ; S,q,r) also satisfies the Black–Scholes equation: 

= 02  2 a S2  + (r - q)S  rP  as

together with the auxiliary conditions:

P(X, 0; S, q, r) = max(SX, 0) P(X, T; S, q, r)  max(S - X, 0) for T > 0.

Note that the auxiliary conditions are identical to those of the price function of the American call option. Hence, we can conclude that 

C(S, T; X, r, q) = P(X, t; S, q, r).
