BlackScholesModel

public BlackScholesModel(LocalDate referenceDate,
                         double initialValue,
                         DiscountCurve discountCurveForForwardRate,
                         DiscountCurve discountCurveForDiscountRate,
                         double volatility)

Create a Black Scholes model (characteristic function)

Parameters:

referenceDate - The date representing the time t = 0. All other double times are following FloatingpointDate.

initialValue - \( S_{0} \) - spot - initial value of S

discountCurveForForwardRate - The curve specifying \( t \mapsto exp(- r^{\text{c}}(t) \cdot t) \) - with \( r^{\text{c}}(t) \) the risk free rate

discountCurveForDiscountRate - The curve specifying \( t \mapsto exp(- r^{\text{d}}(t) \cdot t) \) - with \( r^{\text{d}}(t) \) the discount rate

volatility - \( \sigma \) the volatility level

BlackScholesModel

public BlackScholesModel(double initialValue,
                         double riskFreeRate,
                         double discountRate,
                         double volatility)

Create a Black Scholes model (characteristic function)

Parameters:

initialValue - \( S_{0} \) - spot - initial value of S

riskFreeRate - \( r^{\text{c}} \) - the risk free rate

discountRate - \( r^{\text{d}} \) - the discount rate

volatility - \( \sigma \) the volatility level

BlackScholesModel

public BlackScholesModel(double initialValue,
                         double riskFreeRate,
                         double volatility)

Create a Black Scholes model (characteristic function)

Parameters:

initialValue - \( S_{0} \) - spot - initial value of S

riskFreeRate - \( r^{\text{c}} \) - the risk free rate

volatility - \( \sigma \) the volatility level
