Detailed Description

Market-model evolution description.

This class stores:

1.

evolutionTimes = the times defining the rates that are to be evolved,

2.

rateTimes = the times at which the rates need to be known,

3.

relevanceRates = which rates need to be known at each time.

This class is really just a tuple of evolution and rate times;

*

there will be n+1 rate times expressing payment and reset times of forward rates.

*

there will be any number of evolution times.

*

we also store which part of the rates are relevant for pricing via relevance rates. The important part for the i-th step will then range from relevanceRates[i].first to relevanceRates[i].second. Default values for relevance rates will be 0 and n.

*

example for n = 5:

           |-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|      (size = 6)
           t0    t1    t2    t3    t4    t5     rateTimes
