Abstract

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.
