Approximations and asymptotics of upper hedging prices in multinomial models

Pricing of Securities 2012-04-09 v2 Probability

Abstract

We give an exposition and numerical studies of upper hedging prices in multinomial models from the viewpoint of linear programming and the game-theoretic probability of Shafer and Vovk. We also show that, as the number of rounds goes to infinity, the upper hedging price of a European option converges to the solution of the Black-Scholes-Barenblatt equation.
