Efficient Calibration of Trinomial Trees for One-Factor Short Rate Models
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we propose a computationally efficient implementation of general one factor short rate models with a trinomial tree. We improve the Hull–White’s procedure to calibrate the tree to bond prices by circumventing the forward rate induction and numerical root search algorithms. Our calibration procedure is based on forward measure changes and is as general as the Hull–White procedure, but it offers a more efficient and flexible method of constructing a trinomial term structure model. It can be easily implemented and calibrated to both prices and volatilities.

On Trinomial Trees for One-Factor Short Rate Models∗
In this article we discuss the implementation of general one-factor short rate models with a trinomial tree. Taking the Hull-White model as a starting point, our contribution is threefold. First, we show how trees can be spanned using a set of general branching processes. Secondly, we improve Hull-White’s procedure to calibrate the tree to bond prices by a much more efficient approach. This app...
متن کاملPricing Interest Rate Exotics in Multi-Factor Gaussian Interest Rate Models
For many interest rate exotic options, for example options on the slope of the yield curve or American featured options, a one factor assumption for term structure evolution is inappropriate. These options derive their value from changes in the slope or curvature of the yield curve and hence are more realistically priced with multiple factor models. However, efficient construction of short rate...
متن کاملLean Trees—A General Approach for Improving Performance of Lattice Models for Option Pricing
The well-known binomial and trinomial tree models for option pricing are examined from the point of view of numerical efficiency. Common lattices use a large part of time resources for calculations which are almost irrelevant for the solution. To avoid this waste of resources, the tree is reduced to a “lean” form which yields the same order of convergence, but with a reduction of numerical effo...
متن کاملSpectral properties of trinomial trees
In this paper, we prove that the probability kernel of a random walk on a trinomial tree converges to the density of a Brownian motion with drift at the rate O(h), where h is the distance between the nodes of the tree. We also show that this convergence estimate is optimal in which the density of the random walk cannot converge at a faster rate. The proof is based on an application of spectral ...

One of the most important issues when working with energetic materials is their initiation. Of the various methods of energetic materials initiation in the military and civilian industries, shock initiation is of particular importance. Numerical and simulation study of the shock initiation of condensed phase explosives is related to models called burning rate models, which describe the conversi...
