rand() is hard but using the curand library functions to get the same effect is easy.

Kooderive

I have now done a paper on Kooderivehttp://ssrn.com/abstract=2388415I have also done a new release to tune the code for the Tesla K20.140 times speed up for a 40 rate cancellable swap using a five factor LMM.

Price option where underlying has cap and a floor

presumably it costs to store the natural gas. What about liquidity? If the price is at the cap, are participants forced to sell at that price or can they just say no?

Choice of numeraire

<t>O is the thing we want to price. eg the option. We choose a numeraire N. Find a measure so that A/Nis a martingale for all non-derivative assets A. We then define O_s/N_s = E ( O_T / N_T | F_s)this makes O_s/N_s a martingale via the tower law. So we now have that A_s/N_s for all assets including ...

Choice of numeraire

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: Coolman86I have a question about choice of numeraire and a process that must be a martingale.Consider simple Black-Scholes model, where usually money market account B is a numeraire. It is connected with spot martingale measure Q. We must also ensure that under Q, the d...

Swaption Price using LMM via the forward measure

that doesn't look like a Milstein discretization. It looks more like log-Euler. You would have to be careful to make sure the random numbers are properly generated and properly correlated. I'd advise using predictor-corrector rather than Milstein if you want a good drift approximation.

Real options - real or risk-neutral process for Longstaff-Schwartz option valuation

<r>I don't have much experience with real options but plenty with using least-squares for early exercise.First, you have to decide what measure and discounting is appropriate for this real option problem. Suppose the early exercise feature waseasy (or wasn't there at all) what measure and discountin...

I've put up a tentative 0.1 release.It requires CUDA 5.5 , BOOST.There's quite a bit in there but the flagship example is pricing a 40 rate cancellable swap with 320K firstand second pass paths usin...
