Hi,I've followed the iterative approach described in S. Mikhailov's paper "Heston?s Stochastic Volatility Model Implementation, Calibration and Some Extensions" for the time dependent case with piecewise constant parameters.In order to test my code I thought that by setting the parameters constant over time I should match prices given by the standard Heston model (constant parameters). However it's not the case with my implementation. Did I misunderstand something or it's really my code that is wrong?I've desperately looked for a similar open source implementation in order to do a comparison but could not find anything... Quantlib seems to be using a parameter averaging method. If anybody is aware of some freely available code could they please let me know?Cheers
