VWAP with U-shaped volume

(a) Prove (4A.3). (b) Take T=1T=1 and the U-shaped volume density w(t)=12(1+3(2t−1)2)w(t)=\tfrac12\big(1+3(2t-1)^2\big). Check ∫01w=1\int_0^1w=1, compute ∫01w(t)t dt\int_0^1w(t)t\,dt, and compute Var⁡(W1−∫01wW)\operatorname{Var}(W_1-\int_0^1wW) exactly. (c) With Nifty at 24,000 and intraday volatility 0.7%, give the standard deviation of close minus VWAP in index points for this volume profile and for uniform volume.
