take_implicit_timestepR Documentation

Backwardate grid values one timestep

Description

Take one timestep of an implicit solver for a given instrument

Usage

take_implicit_timestep(
  t,
  S,
  full_discount_factor,
  local_discount_factor,
  discount_factor_fcn,
  prev_grid_values,
  survival_probabilities,
  tridiag_matrix_entries,
  instrument = NULL,
  dividends = NULL,
  instr_name = "this instrument"
)

Arguments

t

Time after this timestep has been taken

S

Underlying equity values for the grid

full_discount_factor

A discount factor for the transform from grid values to actual derivative prices

local_discount_factor

A discount factor to apply to recovery values

discount_factor_fcn

A function for computing present values to time t of various cashflows occurring during this timestep, with arguments T, t

prev_grid_values

A vector of space grid values from the previously calculated timestep

survival_probabilities

Vector of probabilities of survival for each space grid node

tridiag_matrix_entries

Diagonal, superdiagonal and subdiagonal of tridiagonal matrix from the numerical integrator

instrument

If not NULL/NA, must have a recovery_fcn and an optionality_fcn though those properties are themselves allowed to be NA.

dividends

A data.frame with columns time, fixed, and proportional. Dividend size at the given time is then expected to be equal to fixed + proportional * S / S0

instr_name

Name of instrument to use in log messages

Value

Grid values for the instrument after taking the implicit timestep
