Detailed Description

Local volatility curve derived from a Black curve.

Member Function Documentation

Volatility localVolImpl (Time t, Real dummy) const [protected, virtual]

The relation [ int_0^T igma_L^2(t)dt = igma_B^2 T ] holds, where $ igma_L(t) $ is the local volatility at time $ t $ and $ igma_B(T) $ is the Black volatility for maturity $ T $. From the above, the formula [ igma_L(t) = qrt{ac{mathrm{d}}{mathrm{d}t}igma_B^2(t)t} ] can be deduced which is here implemented.

Implements LocalVolTermStructure.
