        as input a vector of (ATM) Black volatilities observed in the
        market.
 
        The calculation is performed interpolating on the variance curve.
        Linear interpolation is used as default; this can be changed
        by the setInterpolation() method.
 
        For strike dependence, see BlackVarianceSurface.
