Abstract
In a market of stocks represented by strictly positive continuous
semimartingales, a contingent claim function is a positive C^{2, 1} function of
the stock prices and time with a given terminal value. If a contingent claim
function satisfies a certain parabolic differential equation, it will generate
a portfolio with value process that replicates the contingent claim function.
This parabolic differential equation is a general form of the Black-Scholes
equation.
