Abstract

Empirical findings on interest rate dynamics imply that short rates show some long memories and non-Markovian. It is well-known that fractional Brownian motion (IBm) is a proper candidate for modelling this empirical phenomena. IBm. however. is not a semimartingale process. For this reason. it is very hard to apply such processes for asset price modelling.

Without using Ito formula, we investigate the IBm interest rate theory‘ We obtain a pure discount bond price. and Greeks by using Malllavin calculus.
