#' European put option pricing using characteristic function 
#' 
#' As seen in Epps (2009)
#' @param strikeprice Strike price vector, relative to a unit stock price
#' @param char.fn Characteristic function of the price level at expiry time
#' @param eval.time Evaluation time
#' @param expiry.time Expiry time
#' @param rate Continuously compounded interest rate (force of interest)
#' @param ... Parameters of the characteristic function
#' @param int.bounds Integration bounds for the integrate() method used. Defaults to infinite bounds.
#' @return European put option price vector
#' @export putEpps
