<h1>Term structures</h1><hr><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The abstract class <a class="el" href="class_quant_lib_1_1_yield_term_structure.html" title="Interest-rate term structure.">QuantLib::YieldTermStructure</a> provides the common interface to concrete yield-rate term structure models. Among others, methods are declared which return instantaneous forward rate, discount factor, and zero rate at a given date. Adapter classes are provided which already implement part of the required methods, thus allowing the programmer to define only the non-redundant part.
