Abstract

•We provides a multi-purpose binomial tree model.•Our model generalizes the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein, Jarrow-Rudd, and Tian models.•Our model can fit all moments of the approximate geometric Brownian motion.•Our binomial model is used to resolve the discontinuity problem in option pricing.

We construct a binomial tree model fitting all moments to the approximated geometric Brownian motion. Our construction generalizes the classical Cox-Ross-Rubinstein, the Jarrow-Rudd, and the Tian binomial tree models. The new binomial model is used to resolve a discontinuity problem in option pricing.
