Abstract—The vanilla European barrier options on stocks with the condition that the market closes and opens periodically in a day are given analysis. Inspired by Vitalis Siven et al., Barrier options and lumpy dividends 2009, we show that in the Black-Scholes model under the principal risk-neutral analysis with the cash market close, dividend-free barrier option prices can be expressed in terms of well-behaved one- or multidimensional integrals, depending on the number of simulation days. With more than one day, the higher integral dimensions cause more computational power and longer time, but we show that especially for the down-and-out barrier options, the option prices for longer simulation periods can be approximated directly.

Keywords—barrier option, market close, numerical integration, down-and-out call
