We consider interest rate models where the forward rates are allowed to be driven by a multidimensional Wiener process as well as by a marked point process. Assuming a deterministic volatility structure, and using ideas from systems and control theory, we investigate when the input-output map...

We derive general necessary and sufficient conditions for the mutual consistency of a given parametrized family of forward rate curves and the dynamics of a given interest rate model. Consistency in this context means that the interest rate model will produce forward rate curves belonging to the...
