We study several approximations for the LIBOR market models presented in Brace, Gatarek, Musiela (1997), Jamshidian (1997) and Schoenmakers, Coffey (1999). Special attention is payed to log-normal approximations and their simulation by using direct simulation methods for log-normal random...

In this paper we propose a Libor model with a high-dimensional specially structured system of driving CIR volatility processes. A stable calibration prodecure which takes into account a given local correlation structure is presented. The calibration algorithm is FFT based, so fast and easy to...

In this paper we develop several regression algorithms for solving general stochastic optimal control problems via Monte Carlo. This type of algorithms is particularly useful for problems with a highdimensional state space and complex dependence structure of the underlying Markov process with...
