Abstract
In incomplete financial markets, the lack of replicability of contingent claims justifies the introduction of superhedging. Given a contingent claim H , a superhedging strategy is an admissible strategy that super‐replicates H at maturity. The initial endowment that allows to pursue that strategy is called the superhedging price . This article is a short survey of the main results on this topic in the mathematical finance literature. We focus especially on continuous‐time hedging of European‐type options.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
