Abstract
We consider a convertible security where the underlying stock
price obeys a lognormal random walk and the risk-free
rate is given by the Vasicek model. Using a Laplace transform in
time and a Mellin transform in the stock price, we derive a
Green′s function solution for the value of the convertible bond.
