چکیده

We consider the solution u(x, t) to a stochastic heat equation. For fixed x, the process F (t) = u(x, t) has a nontrivial quartic variation. It follows that F is not a semimartingale, so a stochastic integral with respect to F cannot be defined in the classical Itô sense. We show that for sufficiently differentiable functions g(x, t), a stochastic integral ∫ g(F (t), t) dF (t) exists as a limit of discrete, midpoint style Riemann sums, where the limit is taken in distribution in the Skorohod space of cadlag functions. Moreover, we show that this integral satisfies a change of variables formulas with a correction term that is an ordinary Itô integral with respect to a Brownian motion that is independent of F .

An anticipating Itô formula for Lévy processes

In this paper, we use the Malliavin calculus techniques to obtain an anticipative version of the change of variable formula for Lévy processes. Here the coefficients are in the domain of the anihilation (gradient) operator in the “future sense”, which includes the family of all adapted and square-integrable processes. This domain was introduced on the Wiener space by Alòs and Nualart [3]. There...

An Itô-type formula for the fractional Brownian motion in Brownian time*

Let X be a (two-sided) fractional Brownian motion of Hurst parameter H ∈ (0, 1) and let Y be a standard Brownian motion independent of X. Fractional Brownian motion in Brownian motion time (of index H), recently studied in [17], is by definition the process Z = X ◦ Y . It is a continuous, non-Gaussian process with stationary increments, which is selfsimilar of index H/2. The main result of the ...

Weber's law orthogonal to the psychometric function

Psychometric function plots the percentage of the correct responses among an entire pool of responses (cumulative probability) in a psychophysical task versus the amount of change in an independent variable. These changes in the independent variable are made with reference to a constant initial value. If this initial value is altered, the psychometric function will change according to Weber’s l...
