Binomial options pricing has no closed-form solution

Abstract: We set a lower bound on the complexity of options pricing formulae in the lattice metric by proving that no general explicit or closed form (hypergeometric) expression for pricing vanilla European call and put options exists when employing the binomial lattice approach. Our proof follows from Gosper's algorithm.

“…Although pricing and hedging in the CRR model can be extended to time-dependent parameters, see e.g. § 11.4 in Privault (2009), the corresponding option pricing formulas have exponential instead of polynomial complexity, see also Georgiadis (2011).…”

“…Gerbessiotis [8] gave a parallel binomial option pricing method with independent architecture, studied algorithm parameter adjustment method of achieving the optimal theory acceleration, and verified the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm under different parallel computing environments. Georgiadis [9] tested that there is no so-called closed-form solution when pricing options with binary tree method. Simonato [10] posed Johnson binary tree based on the approximation to Johnson distribution of the random distribution, overcoming some possible problems in Edgeworth binary tree that the combination of skewness and kurtosis cannot constitute qualified random distribution.…”
