Abstract
We introduce a new calibration methodology that allows perfect fitting of the displaced diffusion LIBOR market model to caplets and co-terminal swaptions, whilst avoiding global optimizations. The approach works by regarding a forward rate as a difference of swap-rates and then bootstrapping through rates one by one.
