Abstract:     
Guo and Hung [2007] recently studied the complex logarithm present in the characteristic function of Heston's stochastic volatility model. They proposed an algorithm for the evaluation of the characteristic function which is claimed to preserve its continuity. We show their algorithm is correct, although their proof is not.

Keywords: Complex logarithm, stochastic volatility, Heston, characteristic function
