Existence of the risk neutral measure via backward Kolmogorov's equation. Delta hedging.

he previous section does not stress out enough that the risk neutral pricing is a result of application of the delta hedging strategy. We consider an economy with deterministic riskless rate. Consideration of stochastic riskless rate requires the notion of $T$-forward probability measure. We postpone such consideration until the notion is developed.




a.An economy with one risky asset.
b.An economy with two risky assets.
