Detailed Description

Short-rate dynamics in the Hull-White model.

The short-rate is here

\[ r_t = \varphi(t) + x_t \]

where \( \varphi(t) \) is the deterministic time-dependent parameter used for term-structure fitting and \( x_t \) is the state variable following an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process.
