Notes

  1. 1.

    This expression can also be obtained by integrating Eq. (5.23) with α = 0 directly, and for the case α = 0, this direct way of finding the solution is easier.

  2. 2.

    For such a choice of λ(r, t), \(u(r,t) -\lambda (r,t)w(r) = -\bar{\lambda }(t)w(r)\), so u(r, t) disappears from the PDE. Thus we do not need u(r, t) in order to solve the PDE.

  3. 3.

    A swap can also be between two companies.

  4. 4.

    If the conditions \(Z_{i} \geq Z_{i+1}\), i = 0, 1, ⋯N − 1 are not satisfied, then some modification needs to be done in order to guarantee the monotonicity.
