Probabilistic approach yields a closed-form expression for the arbitrage price of this bond. A boundary value problem method is based on the concept of an CD-extended generator for Markov processes. The third approach relies on a recursive procedure method in which at every step a suitable Cauchy problem is solved.", keywords = "arbitrage valuation, Markov processes, contraction semigroup, generators", issn = "1232-9274" }
