Question:

As an alternative approach to derive the value of a European floating strike lookback call, we consider 

Cfe (S, m, t) = et EQ[ST - min(m, ml)] = S - er Eo[min(m, m)],

where St = S,mt T0 = m and τ = T − t. We may decompose the above expectation calculation into two terms:

EQ[min(m, m)] = m P (m  m) + Eq[m/ 1{m>m} }]. Show that the first term is given by

S 10 10 [()  (1)-(-)*]*- (T N  ln m Pln = S S (1) I

Now, the second term can be expressed as 

EQ[m 1{m >m}] = In - [h  Se fmin (y)dy.

By performing the tedious integration procedure, show that the same price function for cfℓ (S,m,τ) [see (4.2.9)] is obtained.
