The Heston Model: Solving the Stochastic Volatility SDE

Students frequently conflate the correlation parameter ρ \rho with the volatility of volatility σ \sigma . Furthermore, the Riccati equation solutions are often incorrectly assumed to be real-valued, whereas they are complex functions that must satisfy the Feller condition to ensure the variance process vt v_t remains strictly positive.
