We construct a binomial tree model fitting all moments to the approximated geometric Brownian motion. Our construction generalizes the classical Cox-Ross-Rubinstein, the Jarrow-Rudd, and the Tian binomial tree models. The new binomial model is used to resolve a discontinuity problem in option pricing.

Classical option pricing schemes assume that the value of a financial asset follows a geometric Brownian motion (GBM). However, a growing body of studies suggest that a simple GBM trajectory is not an adequate representation for asset dynamics due to irregularities found when comparing its properties with empirical distributions. As a solution, we develop a generalisation of GBM where the introduction of a memory kernel critically determines the behavior of the stochastic process. We find the general expressions for the moments, log-moments, and the expectation of the periodic log returns, and obtain the corresponding probability density functions by using the subordination approach. Particularly, we consider subdiffusive GBM (sGBM), tempered sGBM, a mix of GBM and sGBM, and a mix of sGBMs. We utilise the resulting generalised GBM (gGBM) to examine the empirical performance of a selected group of kernels in the pricing of European call options. Our results indicate that the performance of a kernel ultimately depends on the maturity of the option and its moneyness.
The time average of geometric Brownian motion plays a crucial role in the pricing of Asian options in mathematical finance. In this paper we consider the asymptotics of the discrete-time average of a geometric Brownian motion sampled on uniformly spaced times in the limit of a very large number of averaging time steps. We derive almost sure limit, fluctuations, large deviations, and also the asymptotics of the moment generating function of the average. Based on these results, we derive the asymptotics for the price of Asian options with discrete-time averaging in the Black-Scholes model, with both fixed and floating strike.
We propose an extension of the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein (CRR) model based on q-binomial (or Kemp) random walks, with application to default with logistic failure rates. This model allows us to consider time-dependent switching probabilities varying according to a trend parameter, and it includes tilt and stretch parameters that control increment sizes. Option pricing formulas are written using q-binomial coefficients, and we study the convergence of this model to a Black-Scholes type formula in continuous time. A convergence rate of order O(1/N) is obtained when the tilt and stretch parameters are set equal to one.
In this paper we propose an extension of the Merton model. We apply the subdiffusive mechanism to analyze equity warrant in a fractional Brownian motion environment, when the short rate follows the subdiffusive fractional Black-Scholes model. We obtain the pricing formula for zero-coupon bond in the introduced model and derive the partial differential equation with appropriate boundary conditions for the valuation of equity warrant. Finally, the pricing formula for equity warrant is provided under subdiffusive fractional Brownian motion model of the short rate.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the problem of option pricing when the short rate follows subdiffusive fractional Merton model. We incorporate the stochastic nature of the short rate in our option valuation model and derive explicit formula for call and put option and discuss the corresponding fractional Black-Scholes equation. We present some properties of this pricing model for the cases of $alpha$ and $H$. Moreover, the numerical simulations illustrate that our model is flexible and easy to implement.
