2.6 Construction of implied volatility surface
So far we have constructed an interpolation schemes in strike for each volatility tenor. We need
a second interpolation scheme to obtain the volatility at maturities T which are not exactly the
volatility tenors. To compute (T,K) we use a linear in variance interpolation scheme along
moneyness lines (see section 1.6), based on the following equation:
2(T,K)T={12(K1)T,TT1Ti+1-TTi+1-Tii2(Ki)Ti+T-TiTi+1-Tii+12(Ki+1)Ti+1,TiTN
where Ti and Ti+1 are the contiguous pair of tenors enclosing T, i.e.i+1(K)KiKi+1TiTi+1KKG0(T)=KiG0(Ti)=Ki+1G0(Ti+1)(T1,K1)(Ti+1,Ki+1)KiKi+10,T1Ti,Ti+1T=0(T,K)K=fwdTi and
i+1(K) are the associated smile functions, Ki and Ki+1 are respectively the strikes for tenor
Ti and Ti+1 equivalent toKin moneyness (see equation (7))
KG0(T)=KiG0(Ti)=Ki+1G0(Ti+1)
Effectively equation (12) interpolates linearly the variance at(T1,K1) and the variance at
(Ti+1,Ki+1), where Ki and Ki+1 are the moneyness equivalent strikes. The formula used in
0,T1 would seem like as a special case, however that is conceptually identical to the one used
inTi,Ti+1ifwe note that the variance inT=0is zero.
Implement the two functions below. The first function construct smiles for all tenors and
pre-computes all data necessary to perform the interpolation of the function (T,K)asex-
plained above. It should also perform no-arbitrage checks described in equation (9), but for
simplicity only for K=fwd. The second function performs the actual interpolation. Note that
the second function should support vectorial calls.
Please someone help me with the matlab code about the
function volSurf!! HELP! I need code!!Please test it also!PLS!!
