Markov chains and the pricing of derivatives

A numerical method for pricing financial derivatives based on continuous-time Markov chains is proposed. It approximates the underlying stochastic process by a continuous-time Markov chain. We show how to construct a multi-dimensional continuous-time Markov chain such that it converges in distributi...
