Hi,
has anybody tried to implement the solution proposed by Antonov et al. in their paper to come up with a solution for the negative rates?

These are the papers I'm talking about:

http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm? ... id=2653682

I'm trying to do it and I'm having some troubles, I will like to share my difficulties...

Hi Wellwn,

I have implemented the integral solution and a PDE solver for evolving the density starting from a dirac delta using Fokker-Planck. Where are your difficulties...

Best, Lapsi

Thank you Lapsi,
no more big problems with the implementation (exept the error I get with strikes zero and atm... to your knowledge I'm using matlab).
My next step is to implement the Monte Carlo simulation (not described in the articles).

Thanks again for your interest,
Wellwn

Hey Lapsi (or evetyone is reading this...)

did you try to implement the Monte Carlo method cited by Antonov in his papers?

Wellwn

Hi Wellwn,
no i did not but have a look at Roger Lords site... He did a lot on MC for SABR.
But if you would like I can have look...
Ciao Jörg

I will take a look, however Roger Lords uses a different approach.
What is strange in Antonov papaer is the absence of the correlation in the calucaltion of the mean and variance of the SABR process... or am I wrong?

Thanks
