On Riemann integration of stochastic processes of order $p$

Let $x:[a,b]\times\Omega\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ be a stochastic process, where $\Omega$ is the sample space from an underlying probability space. Let $L^p$ be the Lebesgue space of random variables on $...

Why do we mainly integrate with respect to martingales?

Although my resarch focuses on PDEs (optimal transport, these days), I am currently trying to learn stochastic calculus and integration. I am just beginning in this topics, but I was wondering: why do ...

Derivative with respect to initial condition for the solution of an SDE

Suppose we have an SDE (assuming the Lipschitz continuous conditions required for the existence of the solution): \begin{align} dX_t = \mu(X_t,t)dt + \sigma(X_t,t)dW_t \end{align} and define its ...

Differentiable dependence on the initial condition of the solution of a SDE

Let $b,\sigma:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$ be differentiable and Lipschitz continuous $(\Omega,\mathcal A,\operatorname P)$ be a probability space $(\mathcal F_t)_{t\ge0}$ be a complete and right-...

Multiple Wiener integral as Witt polynomial of Brownian motion

I know that if i have a Brownian motion $W_t$ the multiple Wiener integral $\int_0^t \int_0^{\xi_1}...\int_0^{\xi_n} dW_{\xi_1}...dW_{\xi_n}$ can be expressed as $H_n(\int_0^t dW_s)$ where $H_n$ is ...

Distribution of "occupation times" of Brownian Motion

Let $B_t(\omega)$ be a standard Brownian motion and let $A\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb R)$ be a Borel set. I would like to find the distribution of $$Y_A(\omega):=\lambda(\{t\in[0,1]:B_t(\omega)\in A\})=\...

Looking for a family of random variables such that only the second clause is fulfilled [closed]

Working with the epsilon-delta-criterium, a family $(X_i)_{i \in I}$ on $(\Omega,A,P)$ is uniformly integrable if i) $sup_{i \in I} E(X_i) <\infty$ ii) $\forall \epsilon>0$ ex. $\delta>0$ s.t....

Triangle inequality for Ito integral?

For Lebesgue integrals one has the triangle inequality saying that for continuous functions let's say $$\left\vert\int_0^t f(s) \ ds\right\vert \le \Vert f \Vert_{\infty} \int_0^t \ ds$$ Now if ...

Multiple Wiener-Ito integral distribution

Distribution of standard Ito integral is well known: $$I_1(f) = \int_0^T f(t)dB(t) \sim \mathcal{N}\bigg(0, \int_0^T f^2(t)dt\bigg).$$ Is it possible to find the distribution of multiple Wiener-Ito ...

Inflated independent samples for Monte Carlo estimation

In my particular problem, running an MCMC is too expensive, so I'm looking for a simple MC estimator, which would partially inherit the correlated samples of MCMC, yet would not require computing ...
