Stochastic optimization approach to options pricing

The problem of determining the European-style option price in incomplete markets has been examined within the framework of stochastic optimization. An analytic method based on a discrete dynamic programming equation (Bellman equation) has been developed that gives the general formalism for determining the option price and the optimal trading strategy (optimal feedback control) that reduces total risk inherent on writing the option.
