Abstract

We study the option pricing problems under transaction costs in a discrete financial model with a riskless bond and one risky asset. For general models with a transaction fee, a perfectly replicating portfolio (if it exists) may not be optimal, i.e., a perfectly replicating portfolio may cost more than certain portfolios which super replicate the contingent claim.
