A generalized correlated random walk is a process of partial sums X k = k j =1 Y j such that (X, Y ) forms a Markov chain. For a sequence (X n ) of such processes in which each Y n j takes only two values, we prove weak convergence to a diffusion process whose generator is explicitly described in terms of the limiting behaviour of the transition probabilities for the Y n . Applications include asymptotics of option replication under transaction costs and approximation of a given diffusion by regular recombining binomial trees.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
