A matched asymptotic expansions approach to continuity corrections for discretely sampled options. Part 1: barrier options.

We discuss the `continuity correction' that should be applied to relate the prices of discretely sampled barrier options and their continuously-sampled equivalents. Using a matched asymptotic expansions approach we show that the correction of Broadie, Glasserman & Kou (Mathematical Fina...
