> I have tried to use the BermudanSwaption-function in the R-package

> As far as I have understood, this function builds on the

http://quantlib.sourcearchive.com/documentation/1.1-1/BermudanSwaption_8cpp_source.html).

> My problem is that the R-function gives very strange results, and I am

> Specifically, I tried to repeat the experiment in Chapter 4.2 in the
> Brigo-Mercurio Book. They use the following maturities, tenors and
> swaption volatilities:
>
> swaptionMaturities <- c(1,2,3,4,5,7,10)
> swapTenors <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)
> volMatrix <-
