Fwd: MonteCarlo for a general Diffusion Process

Luigi Ballabio-2
Hi all,
        this was originally addressed to the list, but for some reason  
the postman refused to deliver it...

Hi guys,
        I would like to price an option in a very general MonteCarlo  
framework. I can see that the DiffusionProcess class is for a ONE  
dimensional process, so I think I will write a new MultiPathGenerator  
taking as input arguments a vector of functions for drifts and a matrix  
of function as diffusions, but I can't understand why in the "path" I  
store the drifts and diffusions and not the values of my processes  
(which I must compute in a "PathPricer"), because I will need that  
values to compute the actual drifts and diffusions and I would compute  
them twice (as in PathGenerator).

bye,
