The Brownian martingale representation theorem argument in part (a) also replicates the bounded put payoff. The discounted stock is a true martingale, so the elementary terminal payoff identity yields put-call paritySet . Then , , and . ThusLinearity of the Dupire equation and giveThe initial payoff is , and . Therefore calls and puts obey the same maturity-strike differential equation, with their respective initial and boundary data.
