In this paper we present a nonlinear dynamic programming algorithm for the computation of forward rates within the maximum smoothness framework. The algorithm implements the forward rate positivity constraint for a one-parametric family of smoothness measures and it handles price spreads in the...

Stochastic volatility (SV) and local stochastic volatility (LSV) processes can be used to model the evolution of various financial variables such as FX rates, stock prices and so on. Considerable efforts have been devoted to pricing derivatives written on underliers governed by such processes....

The paper studies the problem of computing adjustments for bilateral counterparty risk for a standard CDS in a three-factor first-passage time default risk model. Extending the existing literature that gives analytical expression for the transition probability density function (or Green's...
