In the remaining part of this section we present two pricing approaches based on for-mulas (3.1.1) and (3.1.2) respectively. Without loss of generality we present all results in the coming sections only for the purely discontinuous time-inhomogeneous L´evy processes.

This is done with regard of applications, using the class of generalized hyperbolic L´evy processes as driving ones.

3.1.1 The Libor rate approach

Let the price of the domestic cap be given by equation (3.1.1). In this case the underlying is a domestic forward Libor rate, which has with respect to equation (2.2.82) the following dynamics under the domestic forward measure PTj

Recall that under Assumption 2.2.13, XTj−1 is a special semimartingale with respect to the domestic forward measure PTj. One can easily check that its characteristics are given by

. With respect to equation (2.2.90), the PTj–compensator of the jump measure µL satisfies

νTLj(dt, dx) = β(t, x, Tj, TTL(dt, dx) =

Observe that due to approximation we have made, the characteristics of the driving process LTj and, consequently, of XTj−1 are deterministic. Hence, we remain in the class of PIIAC processes. Since XTj−1 is an exponentially special semimartingale, applying Lemma 1.4.12 (see also Remark 1.4.13), we obtain the following representation of its characteristic function:

In the purely discontinuous case the drift term condition given by equation (2.2.86) sim-plifies to

Thus, we obtain the following representation of the characteristic function of XTj−1

χTj−1(u) = exp

According to equation (3.1.1) the price of the j-th caplet at time t = 0 is given by Cpl (0, Tj, K) = δB(0, Tj)EPTj

where ρ(dx) is a Lebesgue density of the distribution of XTj−1. We make the following technical assumption (see Sections 3.1 and 3.2 in Raible (2000)).

Assumption 3.1.1 To guarantee that the distribution of XTj−1 is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure and has a bounded continuous density ρ(x), we assume that

¯ du < ∞.

To calculate the price of the caplet we use the method developed in Raible (2000) , which uses bilateral Laplace transforms. More specifically, we define w(x, K) := (x − K)+, so that the payoff of the j-th caplet can be written as δw(L(Tj−1, Tj−1), K). Additionally, we put v(x) := w(e−x, 1) = (e−x− 1)+.

The following theorem provides an analytical expression for the price of the interest rate caplet.

Theorem 3.1.2 Set ξj := ln (K) − ln (L(0, Tj−1)), and let R < −1 be chosen such that χTj−1(iR) < ∞. Then the price of the j-th caplet Cpl (0, Tj, K) at time t = 0 is given by

Cpl (0, Tj, K) = δB(0, Tj)Kexp (ξjR)

where L[v] denotes the bilateral Laplace transform of v(x), i.e.

L[v](z) = Z

e−zxv(x) dx, z = R + iu ∈ C, u ∈ R.

Proof. Basically, we use the same arguments as in Theorem 3.2 in Raible (2000). Given ξj = ln (K/L(0, Tj−1)), we can rewrite equation (3.1.4) as

Cpl (0, Tj, K) = δB(0, Tj) Z

Furthermore,

Hence, we can apply Theorem B.2 in Raible (2000) to the functions v(x) and ρ(x) and express the bilateral Laplace transform of their convolution as the product of Laplace transforms of the factors.

L[V ](z) = δB(0, Tj)K L[v](z) L[ρ](z), z = R + iu, u ∈ R. (3.1.5) Since the integral that defines the bilateral Laplace transform L[V ](z) converges ab-solutely and ξj → V (ξj) is a continuous function, we can determine Vj by inverting the Laplace transform (see Theorem B.3 in Raible (2000)). In particular,

|L[v](R + iu)| du < ∞. Since |exp (iuξj)| = 1 and χTj−1(iR) does not depend on u, the integral in (3.1.6) converges absolutely and the proof is complete.

= 0, since eLTtj is a PTj–martingale. Obviously, the characteristics of eLTtj are given by

BtLe = 0, CtLe = 0, νLe(dt, dx) = νTLj(dt, dx).

From Lemma 2.2.2 and Assumption 2.2.13 we infer that EPTj

Proposition 3.1.3 Suppose that Assumption 2.2.13 holds. Then χTj−1(iR) < ∞ holds for Proof. Making use of Lemma 2.2.2 combined with Assumption 2.2.13, we obtain that

χTj−1(iR) = EPTj

Hence, χTj−1(iR) < ∞. Note that with respect to Assumption 2.2.13 the constants M, M, and fM = M/(1 + ²) are chosen so that for each j = 1, . . . , N + 1 holds

M − (N − j + 1) fM ≥ M − (N + 1) fM > M, therefore M −(N −j+1) fM −M

M > 0 for each j = 1, . . . , N + 1.

To show that equality (3.1.7) holds, we first have to check that the right-hand side of (3.1.7) is well defined, i.e. we have to prove that

χLTj(Tj−1, zλ (t, Tj−1)) < ∞ and χLTj(Tj−1, zλ (t, Tj−1)) < ∞.

With respect to Proposition 2.2.5 the process µ special. Hence, from Lemma 1.4.3 it follows that

Let us now consider the second function on the right-hand side of (3.1.7). Due to the fact that |λ(t, Tj−1)| ≤ M < MTj for all t ∈ [0, Tj−1], the function χLTj(Tj−1, −iλ (t, Tj−1)) is well defined, and with Lemma 1.3.4, we obtain

(3.1.9)

Plugging equations (3.1.8) and (3.1.9) into the right-hand side of (3.1.7), one can easily check that equality (3.1.7) holds. This proves our assertion. ¤

In a completely analogous way, as it was done in Theorem 3.1.2, we can calculate the price of an interest rate floorlet.

Corollary 3.1.4 With ξj = ln (K) − ln (L(0, Tj−1)) and R ∈

³

0,M −(N −j+1) fM M

, the price of the j-th floorlet at time t = 0 is given by

Z

−∞

exp (iuξj) χTj−1(iR − u)

(R + iu)(R + 1 + iu)du . At the first glance, the formulae for the price of the j-th caplet and corresponding floorlet are the same. But the difference lies in the values of parameter R. To price put options, we must choose R > 0 (see Table 3.1 in Raible (2000)). Of course, χTj−1(iR) < ∞ should hold as well.

Remark 3.1.5 If the jumps magnitude |x| of the driving time-inhomogeneous L´evy process and the upper bound M of the domestic Libor rate volatility structure are sufficiently small, we can approximate the coefficient β(·, x, Tj, T) given by equation (2.2.90) in the following way
