Discount factor convergence
===================================

The convergence of the stochastic discount factors generated by the Hull-White model.

The charts below examine the convergence of the discount factors
for various combinations of :math:`\sigma` and :math:`a`, first by changing :math:`\sigma` and secondly by changing :math:`a`.
As Balaraman's study shows, the convergence gets worse as :math:`\sigma/a` gets larger than 1, and gets better as :math:`\sigma/a` gets smaller than 1.
