The Libor Market Model describes the evolution of a discrete subset of all interest rates quoted in the market. Generation of the complete yield curve from a simulated set of rates (the so-called "Libor rate interpolation") is one of the basic challenges which are faced by a practical user of...

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...
