    This paper considers the problem of superreplication for European and American options in a setting of finite discrete time with a multidimensional square-integrable price process. The main result is a self-contained proof of a variant of the optional decomposition theorem due to \textit{D. O. Kramkov} [Probab. Theory Relat. Fields 105, 459-479 (1996; Zbl 0853.60041) and Finance Stoch. 2, 69-81 (1998; Zbl 0894.90016)]. Some additional details in the Markovian case are also given.
