Explicit Recursive Construction of Super-Replication Prices under Proportional Transaction Costs

Mathematical Finance 2025-11-06 v2

Abstract

We propose a constructive framework for the super-hedging problem of a European contingent claim under proportional transaction costs in discrete time. Our main contribution is an explicit recursive scheme that computes both the super-hedging price and the corresponding optimal strategy without relying on martingale arguments. The method is based on convex duality and a distorted Legendre--Fenchel transform, ensuring both tractability and convexity of the value functions. A numerical implementation on real market data illustrates the practical relevance of the proposed approach.
