ois rate

<t>Let me ask this in other way. My concern is a discount factor notion. Let B ( t , T ) be a T-bond. Assuming that it is risk free one pays $c B ( t , T ) in order to get $c at T. There is no market risk. If we invest $c at t in ir contracts which underlying is Libor or OIS what we can expect to ge...

<t>It is clear what does it mean arbitrage when ask=bid prices but in reality it is not clear real world arbitrage when bid < ask,. There is no immediate arbitrage if one buys for ask and sell for bid regardless whether interest rate negative or positive. if we look at some time interval then to the...

Nonlinear expctation

<t>Whether V ( x_t ) should be written as V ( t , x ) where x = x ( t ) one should find derivative with respect to t from the right hand side of expression to which it assigned. Note here subscript t in expectation can be omitted. If x ( t ) < b then we arrive at d/dt V ( x_t ) = - ax which does not...

The right name for it is the functional of the diffusion process, ie it is better not to call it nonlinear expectation.Next, the functional depends on two parameters, ie V = V ( t , x ) where x = x ( t )."s i...
