Rebalancing wavelet basis.


roblem

(Rebalancing wavelet basis) Let $H$ be a Hilbert space, $D$ is a dense set in $H$ and MATH is a basis in $H$ : MATH with the following properties:

1. MATH

2. For any $u\in H$ and any $k$ , MATH

A compact operator $B:H\rightarrow H$ is given by its description on the set $D$ .

We start from a function $u\in H$ , precision $\varepsilon>0$ and an approximation MATH where MATH is a small index subset of $P$ and Proj MATH is projection in $H$ on set MATH .

We would like to find an efficient procedure for calculation of the set MATH or some approximation of $\tilde{K}$ from above. Evaluation of MATH is prohibitively expensive. The matrix MATH is known.

Think of $u_{0}$ being an approximation to a hut function (put straddle). The $u_{0}$ is calculated in the section ( Decomposition of payoff function in one dimension ). We place a lot of high level wavelets around the singularity at the strike. When we evolve $u_{0}$ with Backward Kolmogorov's equation, the singularity disappears. Therefore, the weights $c_{i}$ placed on high order wavelets around the strike should redistribute to lower order wavelets.

We produce MATH by taking MATH with maximal weights $c_{i}$ . Those $w_{i}$ , not included in MATH , would have a small weight $c_{i}$ if included in the sum. When we apply the transformation $B$ , the weights redistribute. The function MATH gives us partial information about such redistribution.

We form the set MATH

We form the set $R_{0}$ recursively via distinct unions MATH The optimal function MATH have to depend on diffusive properties of operator $B$ . However, due to iterative nature of this procedure, MATH would work too. In addition, we add propagation into higher scales as follows:

MATH We denote the construction of $R_{0}$ from $Q_{0}$ as MATH

We calculate MATH Then we calculate MATH MATH We continue MATH MATH for $s=1,2,3,...$ We stop when MATH becomes small.

After completion, the final set $K_{s^{\ast}}$ is reduced by removing indexes with lowest contribution. The result is $\tilde{K}$ .

Another possibility is simply to take $\kappa$ to be a large number and do one iteration.
