Established a quasi-linear PDE for super-hedging with price impact.
Provided conditions for perfect hedging strategies when solutions are smooth.
Abstract
We consider a financial model with permanent price impact. Continuous time trading dynamics are derived as the limit of discrete rebalancing policies. We then study the problem of super-hedging a European option. Our main result is the derivation of a quasi-linear pricing equation. It holds in the sense of viscosity solutions. When it admits a smooth solution, it provides a perfect hedging strategy.
