Abstract
This article proposes an interest rate model ruled by mean reverting Lévy processes with a sub-exponential memory of their sample path. This feature is achieved by considering an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process in which the exponential decaying kernel is replaced by a Mittag–Leffler function. Based on a representation in term of an infinite dimensional Markov processes, we present the main characteristics of bonds and short-term rates in this setting. Their dynamics under risk neutral and forward measures are studied. Finally, bond options are valued with a discretization scheme and a discrete Fourier’s transform.
