(i) For each i = 1,...,n, consider a caplet with start date Ti, cash flow at time Si and strike K. According to Black’s formula, the value at time t = 0 of the ith caplet is given by
where is a positive constant and
Suppose an arbitrage-free term structure model has been defined which is consistent with Black’s formula at time t = 0 for all strikes for each of these caplets. Find the distribution of under an EMM corresponding to the numeraire D·Si.
(ii) In a one-factor LIBOR market model, working in the measure F corresponding to the numeraire
satisfies an SDE of the form
for constants a one-dimensional Brownian motion, for all and, for
Show that this model is consistent with Black’s formula as given in (i) for each of the caplets.
