With that curve, and an appropriate interpolation method, it made sense to talk about expensive days, the curve up to 3m, etc. But that world is long gone. When you create a 3m curve ...

The actual 6m euribor fixing itself can be thought of as a 0x6 FRA out of spot. Before the financial crisis basis between different ...

you have to find $\alpha$ and $\beta$ so that $$\alpha S_1 + \beta$$ is greater than or equal to the pay-off everywhere. Any such values gives an upper bound of $$\alpha S_0 + \beta$$ Now try to find the smallest value of that. I am guessing that the answer is $\alpha = 1/6$ and $\beta=0.$

Its a payoff for asset or nothing call, this option is an OTC derivative (more specifically an exotic option) thus relatively illiquid compared to plain vanilla option. Its payoff, with exercise price ($K$), is $S_t$ if $S{t}>K$ and 0 otherwise and $1_{S_t>K}$ is an indicator function which takes value 1 if $S_t>K$ and 0 otherwise. And that's why it ...
