Convergence rates of trinomial tree methods for option pricing under regime-switching models

Abstract Recently trinomial tree methods have been developed to option pricing under regime-switching models. Although these novel trinomial tree methods are shown to be accurate via numerical examples, it needs to give a rigorous proof of the accuracy which can theoretically guarantee the reliability of the computations. The aim of this paper is to prove the convergence rates (measure of the accuracy) of the trinomial tree methods for the option pricing under regime-switching models.
