Abstract
Beiglböck and Juillet (Ann. Probab. 44 (2016) 42–106) introduced the left-curtain martingale coupling of probability measures μ and ν, and proved that, when the initial law μ is continuous, it is supported by the graphs of two functions. We extend the later result by constructing the generalised left-curtain martingale coupling and show that for an arbitrary starting law μ it is characterised by two appropriately defined lower and upper functions.
As an application of this result, we derive the model-independent upper bound of an American put option. This extends recent results of Hobson and Norgilas (2017) on the atom-free case.
