Displaced Heston equations.


his chapter follows [Piterbarg2003a] .

The SDEs ( Heston equations ) MATH were covered in the section Heston equation . We will be considering the quantity $S_{t}$ in its martingale measure $\mu=0$ . We also perform a slight modification of the first equation:

MATH (Displaced Heston equations)
where the $b$ is some number $b\in R$ . Such transformation preserves analytical tractability and allows for modelling of skew in volatility smile for short maturities. The term structure of volatility smile prompts introduction of time dependency of the parameter $b$ . Such dependency is incompatible with the analytical tractability that was established in the section ( Heston equation ).
