    VolatilityCube

    public class VolVolCube
    extends Object
    implements VolatilityCube
    This cube provides the volatility of the stochastic driver for each sub-tenor of the swap rate's schedule in the Piterbarg model of the annuity mapping. They are linked to normal volatilities via \[ \frac{\tau_j}{1+\tau_j S_j(0)} \rho_{i,j} \sigma_j ]\, where \(\tau\) is the accrual fraction, \(S_j(0)\) is the swap rate of the j-th subtenor evaluated at time 0, \(\sigma_j\) the volatility of the j-th subtenor at the strike and \(\rho_{i,j}\) is the correlation between the swap rates of the two tenors. We assume a correlation according to \[ \rho_{i,j} = e^{d(T_j - T_i)} \], where d is some decay parameter, given by the underlying cube.
