Abstract

The no Butterfly arbitrage domain of Gatheral SVI 5-parameters formula for the volatility smile has been recently described. It requires in general a numerical minimization of 2 functions altogether with a few root finding procedures. We study here the case of some sub-SVIs (all with 3 parameters): the Symmetric SVI, the Vanishing Upward/Downward SVI, and SSVI, for which we provide an explicit domain, with no numerical procedure required.

Keywords: Implied volatility, volatility smile, calibration, SVI, sub-SVIs, arbitrage-free parameterization
