CapFloorTermVolatilityStructure (const Calendar &cal, BusinessDayConvention bdc, const DayCounter &dc=DayCounter())
default constructor
CapFloorTermVolatilityStructure (const Date &referenceDate, const Calendar &cal, BusinessDayConvention bdc, const DayCounter &dc=DayCounter())
initialize with a fixed reference date
CapFloorTermVolatilityStructure (Natural settlementDays, const Calendar &, BusinessDayConvention bdc, const DayCounter &dc=DayCounter())
calculate the reference date based on the global evaluation date
Volatility
Volatility volatility (const Period &length, Rate strike, bool extrapolate=false) const
returns the volatility for a given cap/floor length and strike rate
Volatility volatility (const Date &end, Rate strike, bool extrapolate=false) const
Volatility volatility (Time t, Rate strike, bool extrapolate=false) const
returns the volatility for a given end time and strike rate

Detailed Description
Cap/floor term-volatility structure. This class is purely abstract and defines the interface of concrete structures which will be derived from this one.
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
CapFloorTermVolatilityStructure (const Calendar & cal, BusinessDayConvention bdc, const DayCounter & dc = DayCounter())
default constructor Warning
- term structures initialized by means of this constructor must manage their own reference date by overriding the referenceDate() method.
