ABSTRACT:
This article introduces a
hyper-exponential jump diffusion process based on the continuity correction for
discrete barrier options under the standard B-S model, using measure
transformation and stopping time theory to prove the correction, thus
broadening the conditions of the continuity correction of Kou.
