Calculations

These methods must be implemented in derived classes to perform the actual volatility calculations. When they are called, range check has already been performed; therefore, they must assume that extrapolation is required.

Member Function Documentation

◆ referenceDate()

const Date & referenceDate ( ) const

the date at which discount = 1.0 and/or variance = 0.0

Reimplemented from TermStructure.

◆ calendar()

Calendar calendar ( ) const

the calendar used for reference and/or option date calculation

Reimplemented from TermStructure.

◆ dayCounter()

DayCounter dayCounter ( ) const
overridevirtual

the day counter used for date/time conversion

Reimplemented from TermStructure.

Definition at line 45 of file localvolcurve.hpp.

◆ maxDate()

Date maxDate ( ) const
overridevirtual

the latest date for which the curve can return values

Implements TermStructure.

Definition at line 46 of file localvolcurve.hpp.

◆ minStrike()

Real minStrike ( ) const

the minimum strike for which the term structure can return vols

Implements VolatilityTermStructure.

◆ maxStrike()

Real maxStrike ( ) const

the maximum strike for which the term structure can return vols

◆ accept()

The relation

\[ \int_0^T \sigma_L^2(t)dt = \sigma_B^2 T \]

holds, where \( \sigma_L(t) \) is the local volatility at time \( t \) and \( \sigma_B(T) \) is the Black volatility for maturity \( T \). From the above, the formula

\[ \sigma_L(t) = \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}\sigma_B^2(t)t} \]

can be deduced which is here implemented.

Implements LocalVolTermStructure.
