Approximate Hedging in a Local Volatility Model with Proportional Transaction Costs

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc></title>Local volatility models are popular as they can be calibrated to the market of European options by the simple Dupire formula. For such a model, we propose a modified Leland method which allows to approximately replicate a European contingent claim when the market is under proportional transaction costs. The convergence of the scheme is shown by means of a new strategy of proof based on partial differential equations (PDEs) techniques allowing us to obtain appropriate Greek estimations.
