Barrier-triggered put

ID: barrier-triggered-put

A put with a prescribed exercise rule: exercise at the first touch of , or at expiry if no touch occurs. Its value is bounded above by the American put option, which optimizes over exercise times. With zero interest rate, its value equals the down-and-out put value plus times a cash-at-expiry one-touch option value. At positive interest rate the rebate is paid at touch, so replacing it by an expiry payment would generally be incorrect.
