    A stochastic volatility Libor model and its robust calibration
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Belomestny, Denis; Mathew, Stanley; Schoenmakers, John G.M.
    In this paper we propose a Libor model with a high-dimensional specially structured system of driving CIR volatility processes. A stable calibration procedure which takes into account a given local correlation structure is presented. The calibration algorithm is FFT based, so fast and easy to implement.

    Libor model with expiry-wise stochastic volatility and displacement
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Ladkau, Marcel; Schoenmakers, John G.M.; Zhang, Jianing
    We develop a multi-factor stochastic volatility Libor model with displacement, where each individual forward Libor is driven by its own square-root stochastic volatility process. The main advantage of this approach is that, maturity-wise, each square-root process can be calibrated to the corresponding cap(let)vola-strike panel at the market. However, since even after freezing the Libors in the drift of this model, the Libor dynamics are not affine, new affine approximations have to be developed in order to obtain Fourier based (approximate) pricing procedures for caps and swaptions. As a result, we end up with a Libor modeling package that allows for efficient calibration to a complete system of cap/swaption market quotes that performs well even in crises times, where structural breaks in vola-strike-maturity panels are typically observed

    Log-modulated rough stochastic volatility models
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2020) Bayer, Christian; Harang, Fabian; Pigato, Paolo
    We propose a new class of rough stochastic volatility models obtained by modulating the power-law kernel defining the fractional Brownian motion (fBm) by a logarithmic term, such that the kernel retains square integrability even in the limit case of vanishing Hurst index H. The so-obtained log-modulated fractional Brownian motion (log-fBm) is a continuous Gaussian process even for H = 0. As a consequence, the resulting super-rough stochastic volatility models can be analysed over the whole range of Hurst indices between 0 and 1/2, including H = 0, without the need of further normalization. We obtain the usual power law explosion of the skew as maturity T goes to 0, modulated by a logarithmic term, so no flattening of the skew occurs as H goes to 0.
