Using the trinomial lattice

The trinomial lattice works in very much the same way as the binomial lattice. Since each node recombines at every other node instead of alternate nodes, extracting odd nodes from the list is not necessary. Since the size of the list is the same as the one in the binomial lattice, there are no extra storage requirements in trinomial lattice pricing, as explained in the following diagram:
