This paper explores an efficient lattice model for pricing derivatives under a jump-diffusion process. It compares different lattice structures for pricing options on stock assets, highlighting convergence issues related to nonlinearity errors. The study addresses the problem posed by distributions with heavier tails and higher peaks in jump-diffusion processes and evaluates the accuracy of various lattice models such as Amin's and Hilliard and Schwartz's. The text discusses the modeling and definitions needed for risk-neutralized jump-diffusion processes and presents a detailed analysis of the lattice construction complexity. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed lattice in pricing derivatives with improved convergence and accuracy.

An Efficient and Accurate Lattice for Pricing Derivatives under a Jump-Diffusion Process
1. Introduction • In a lattice, the prices of the derivatives converge when the number of time steps increase. • Nonlinearity error from nonlinearity option value causes the pricing results to converge slowly or oscillate significantly.
