Detailed Description

Digital-payoff coupon.

Implementation of a floating-rate coupon with digital call/put option. Payoffs:

*

Coupon with cash-or-nothing Digital Call rate + csi * payoffRate * Heaviside(rate-strike)

*

Coupon with cash-or-nothing Digital Put rate + csi * payoffRate * Heaviside(strike-rate) where csi=+1 or csi=-1.

*

Coupon with asset-or-nothing Digital Call rate + csi * rate * Heaviside(rate-strike)

*

Coupon with asset-or-nothing Digital Put rate + csi * rate * Heaviside(strike-rate) where csi=+1 or csi=-1. The evaluation of the coupon is made using the call/put spread replication method.

Tests

*

the correctness of the returned value in case of Asset-or-nothing embedded option is tested by pricing the digital option with Cox-Rubinstein formula.

*

the correctness of the returned value in case of deep-in-the-money Asset-or-nothing embedded option is tested vs the expected values of coupon and option.

*

the correctness of the returned value in case of deep-out-of-the-money Asset-or-nothing embedded option is tested vs the expected values of coupon and option.

*

the correctness of the returned value in case of Cash-or-nothing embedded option is tested by pricing the digital option with Reiner-Rubinstein formula.

*

the correctness of the returned value in case of deep-in-the-money Cash-or-nothing embedded option is tested vs the expected values of coupon and option.

*

the correctness of the returned value in case of deep-out-of-the-money Cash-or-nothing embedded option is tested vs the expected values of coupon and option.

*

the correctness of the returned value is tested checking the correctness of the call-put parity relation.

*

the correctness of the returned value is tested by the relationship between prices in case of different replication types.

Member Function Documentation

Rate callOptionRate () const

Returns the call option rate (multiplied by: nominal*accrualperiod*discount is the NPV of the option)

Rate putOptionRate () const

Returns the put option rate (multiplied by: nominal*accrualperiod*discount is the NPV of the option)

void update () [virtual]

This method must be implemented in derived classes. An instance of Observer does not call this method directly: instead, it will be called by the observables the instance registered with when they need to notify any changes.

Reimplemented from FloatingRateCoupon.
