Protected Member Functions
Calculations
These methods must be implemented in derived classes to perform the actual volatility calculations. When they are called, range check has already been performed; therefore, they must assume that extrapolation is required.
virtual Volatility	localVolImpl (Time t, Real strike) const =0
	local vol calculation
void	checkStrike (Rate strike, bool extrapolate) const
	strike-range check
void	checkRange (const Date &d, bool extrapolate) const
	date-range check

Detailed Description

This abstract class defines the interface of concrete local-volatility term structures which will be derived from this one.

Volatilities are assumed to be expressed on an annual basis.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

LocalVolTermStructure()

LocalVolTermStructure	(	BusinessDayConvention	bdc = Following,
		const DayCounter &	dc = DayCounter() )

default constructor

Warning

term structures initialized by means of this constructor must manage their own reference date by overriding the referenceDate() method.
