Question:

The no arbitrage bond price process is assumed to follow the m-dimensional Gaussian HJM model. Let t < T< T< ··· < Tand αi be the accrual factor over the interval (Ti−1,Ti],i = 1, 2, ··· ,n.

(a) A floor with preset floor rate Lf is a series of floorlets, where the payoff at Ti is αi max(Lf − Li−1(Ti−1), 0), i = 1, 2, ··· ,n. Find the time-t value of the floor.

(b) A caplet in arrears pays αi max(Li−1(Ti−1) − Lc, 0) at Ti−1, that is, the payment date coincides with the LIBOR reset date. Note that the usual caplet pays the same amount at Ti. Find the time-t value of this caplet.

(c) A cap with deferred caplets has all caplet payments made at the terminal date Tn. Find the time-t value of this deferred cap.
