چکیده
We present a scheme that leverage orthonormal or biorthogonal wavelets to a new system of biorthogonal wavelets. The leveraged biorthogonal wavelets will have some nice properties. If we start with orthonormal wavelets, the leveraged scaling functions and wavelets are compactly supported and are diierentiable. The derivatives of the leveraged wavelets are orthogonal to their translations; the derivatives of the leveraged scaling functions are nearly orthogonal to their translations; and the derivatives of the leveraged scaling functions and wavelets are orthogonal to each other. This feature may be valuable for the numerical solution of diier-ential equations. If we start with B-splines and cooperating with the lifting scheme of Sweldens, our leverage scheme can reproduce all of those biorthogonal wavelets by Cohen, Daubechies and Feauveau. There is a simple algorithm to calculate new lter coeecients from the old lter coeecients. In the end of this article we test the newly constructed biorthogonal wavelets in the framework of Galerkin-wavelet methods. 1. Motivation. The motivation of this work is the following formula (1:1) (x) = Z x ?1 (t) ? (t ? 1) dt that was suggested by Xu and Shann in their paper on Galerkin-wavelets methods 17]. Here (x) is an orthonormal scaling function. In that paper, they were studying the Galerkin basis functions derived from orthonormal wavelets that will produce well-conditioned stiiness matrices and will satisfy the Dirichlet boundary conditions. The formula (1:1) was suggested to ensure the compact supportedness of the Galerkin-wavelets basis functions. We follow this hint and discovered that it is actually the starting point of a general scheme to derive from a wavelet to another wavelet with some better properties. We call it the leverage scheme of biorthogonal wavelets. Following the spirit of the Galerkin-wavelets methods 17], the ultimate goal for the leverage scheme is the application for numerical solution of diierential equations. In Section 2, we will brieey review the fundamentals and deene the notations. In Section 3, we will deene the leverage scheme and present the main properties for the orthonormal case. As a preview, let (x) and (x) be a pair of orthonormal scaling function and wavelet. Let (x) be the leverage of (x) as deened in (1:1). Then (x) is again a scaling function and it generates a multiresolution analysis (MRA) of L 2 (R). If (x) has the approximation degree p, then (x) will have the approximation degree p + 1. The derivatives …

Path-Dependence of Leveraged ETF Returns
It is well-known that leveraged exchange-traded funds (LETFs) don’t reproduce the corresponding multiple of index returns over extended (quarterly or annual) investment horizons. In 2008, most leveraged ETFs underperformed the corresponding static strategies. In this paper, we study this phenomenon in detail. We give an exact formula linking the return of a leveraged fund with the corresponding...
متن کاملNo . 7 Leveraged Buyouts in Poland
The dynamic transformation of the Polish economy from a centrally planned to market economy is by now well advanced. The transformation has also contributed to a rapid development of the capital market. However, the leveraged buyout market has hardly been developed yet. The leveraged buyout technique allows investors to take companies over with little of their own capital. Most of the total val...
متن کاملCrooked Volatility Smiles: Evidence from Leveraged and Inverse ETF Options
We find that leverage in exchange traded funds (ETFs) can affect the “crookedness” of volatility smiles. This observation is consistent with the intuition that return shocks are inversely correlated with volatility shocks – resulting in more expensive out-of-the-money put options and less expensive out-of-the-money call options. We show that the prices of options on leveraged and inverse ETFs c...
متن کاملTwo-Stage Leveraged Measurement System Assessment
To assess measurement system variation, we propose an alternative to the standard plan that uses a random sample of parts to repeatedly measure. The new plan, called Leveraged Measurement System Assessment is conducted in two stages. In the first stage, called the baseline, a number of parts are measured once. In the second stage, we select a few extreme parts (based on their initial measuremen...

This paper provides an overview of the literature on private equity and leveraged buyouts, focusing on global evidence related to both governance and returns to private equity and leveraged buyouts. We distinguish between financial and real returns to this activity, where the latter refers to productivity and broader performance measures. We also outline a research agenda on this topic. © 2007 ...
