Cox-Ross-Rubinstein diffusion approximation

ID: cox-ross-rubinstein-diffusion-approximation

For mesh , the risk-neutral up probability is . The log-price increment has mean and variance . The Donsker invariance principle gives convergence of the log-price process to Brownian motion with this drift, hence of prices to the Black-Scholes model. Payoff-price convergence additionally uses continuity at almost every limiting path and uniform integrability for unbounded payoffs.
