  • This paper considers an optimal investment problem under CRRA utility with a borrowing constraint. We formulate it into a free boundary problem consisting of a fully nonlinear equation and a linear equation. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the classical solution and present the condition for the existence of the free boundary under a linear constraint on a borrowing rate. Furthermore, we prove that the free boundary is continuous and smooth when the relative risk aversion coefficient is sufficiently small.
