Black-Scholes and Heston Models with Stochastic Interest Rates and Term Structure of Volatilities

Abstract

We consider the Black-Scholes and Heston models and generalize them to stochastic interest rates and maturity-dependent volatilities. In the Black-Scholes case, we solve the extended model and provide a concrete form for the term structure of volatilities. In the Heston case, we prove that, under some conditions, the generalized model is equivalent to a hybrid model and we find semi-closed-form solutions in the Hull and White and CIR cases.
