ID: static-terminal-payoff-representation-of-a-down-and-in-claim

For initial spot in the Black-Scholes model, put and . A down-and-in claim with terminal payoff has the same initial price as the terminal claim . Reflection of the log-price endpoint above the lower barrier changes its normal probability density to , where . Substitution gives the payoff identity. This is price equality, not pathwise equality of payments.
