Short-Time Expansions For Call Options On Leveraged Etfs Under Exponential Lévy Models With Local Volatility, José E. Figueroa-López, Ruoting Gong, Matthew Lorig Mar 2018

Short-Time Expansions For Call Options On Leveraged Etfs Under Exponential Lévy Models With Local Volatility, José E. Figueroa-López, Ruoting Gong, Matthew Lorig

Mathematics Faculty Publications

In this article, we consider the small-time asymptotics of options on a leveraged exchange-traded fund (LETF) when the underlying exchange-traded fund (ETF) exhibits both local volatility and jumps of either finite or infinite activity. We show that leverage modifies the drift, volatility, jump intensity, and jump distribution of a LETF in addition to inducing the possibility of default, even when the underlying ETF price remains strictly positive. Our main results are closed-form expressions for the leading-order terms of off-the-money European call and put LETF option prices near expiration, with explicit error bounds. These results show that the price of an …


A Non-Commutative Julia Inequality, John E. Mccarthy, James E. Pascoe Jan 2018

A Non-Commutative Julia Inequality, John E. Mccarthy, James E. Pascoe

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We prove a Julia inequality for bounded non-commutative functions on polynomial polyhedra. We use this to deduce a Julia inequality for holomorphic functions on classical domains in Cd. We look at differentiability at a boundary point for functions that have a certain regularity there.

In this paper, we provide a direct and constructive proof of weak factorization of h1 (ℝ×ℝ) (the predual of little BMO space bmo(ℝ×ℝ) studied by Cotlar-Sadosky and Ferguson-Sadosky), i.e., for every f Є h1 (ℝ×ℝ) there exist sequences {αkj} Є l and functions gjk, hkj Є L2 (ℝ2 ) such that [Equation Unavailable] in the sense of h1 (ℝ×ℝ), where H1 and H2 are the Hilbert transforms on the first and second variable, respectively. Moreover, the norm ║fh1║(ℝ×ℝ) is given in terms of ║gjk║ L2(ℝ2) and ║hkj║ L2(ℝ2). By duality, this directly implies a lower bound on the norm of …
