For a constant-coefficient single-asset investment-consumption problem with constant relative risk aversion utility, put and . When , the infinite-horizon value is and the optimal controls are and . The case uses logarithmic utility.
For a complete-market investment-consumption problem with constant relative risk aversion utility, the nonlinear wealth-homogeneity coefficient equation may contain . Writing cancels this gradient square against the one from . In the index-driven correlation model the result is , a linear differential equation; the positive economic solution gives consumption .
