On the Expectations of Multiple Stratonovich Integrals

Abstract

In the construction of numerical methods for solving stochastic differential equations it becomes necessary to calculate the expectations of products of multiple stochastic integrals. In the Itô case, explicit formulae for the expectation of a multiple integral with integrand identically equal to 1 and for the product of two such integrals are known. In this paper formulae for the expectation of any multiple Stratonovich integral as well as for the product of a broad class of two Stratonovich integrals have been derived.     

A functional non-central limit theorem for multiple-stable processes with long-range dependence

A functional limit theorem is established for the partial-sum process of a class of stationary sequences which exhibit both heavy tails and long-range dependence. The stationary sequence is constructed using multiple stochastic integrals with heavy-tailed marginal distribution. Furthermore, the multiple stochastic integrals are built upon a large family of dynamical systems that are ergodic and conservative, leading to the long-range dependence phenomenon of the model. The limits constitute a new class of self-similar processes with stationary increments. They are represented by multiple stable integrals, where the integrands involve the local times of intersections of independent stationary stable regenerative sets.     

Multiple stochastic integrals constructed by special expansions of products of the integrating stochastic processes

The paper deals with problems of constructing multiple stochastic integrals in the case when the product of increments of the integrating stochastic process admits an expansion as a finite sum of series with random coefficients. This expansion was obtained for a sufficiently wide class including centered Gaussian processes. In the paper, some necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of multiple stochastic integrals defined by an expansion of the product of Wiener processes. It was obtained a recurrent representation for the Wiener stochastic integral as an analog of the Hu–Meyer formula.

An Isometric Approach to Generalized Stochastic Integrals

The possibility to extend the classical Ito's construction of stochastic integrals is studied. This construction can be applied to fractional Brownian motions with Hurst index H(0, 1/2). A change of variables formula for fractional Brownian motions in terms of the stochastic integrals is given.     

The Finite Product Theorem for Certain Epireflections

We discuss a number of topics relating to multiple stochastic integration, where notions and ideas from point process theory seem particularly useful. Thus we give conditions for summability of certain multiple random series in terms of associated Poisson integrals, prove a decoupling result for divergence in probability to infinity, and give conditions for the existence of certain multiple integrals with respect to compensated POISSON and asymmetric LÉVY processes. In particular, the existence criteria for multiple p-stable integrals are shown to be independent of the skewness parameter.     

A Series Approach to Stochastic Differential Equations with Infinite Dimensional Noise

This paper considers semilinear stochastic differential equations in Hilbert spaces with Lipschitz nonlinearities and with the noise terms driven by sequences of independent scalar Wiener processes (Brownian motions). The interpretation of such equations requires a stochastic integral. By means of a series of Itô integrals, an elementary and direct construction of a Hilbert space valued stochastic integral with respect to a sequence of independent scalar Wiener processes is given. As an application, existence and strong and weak uniqueness for the stochastic differential equation are shown by exploiting the series construction of the integral.

Central Limit Theorems for Multiple Skorokhod Integrals

In this paper, we prove a central limit theorem for a sequence of multiple Skorokhod integrals using the techniques of Malliavin calculus. The convergence is stable, and the limit is a conditionally Gaussian random variable. Some applications to sequences of multiple stochastic integrals, and renormalized weighted Hermite variations of the fractional Brownian motion are discussed.     

ONE LINEAR ANALYTIC APPROXIMATION FOR STOCHASTIC INTEGRODIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

This article concerns the construction of approximate solutions for a general stochastic integrodifferential equation which is not explicitly solvable and whose coeffcients functionally depend on Lebesgue integrals and stochastic integrals with respect to martingales. The approximate equations are linear ordinary stochastic differential equations, the solutions of which are defined on sub-intervals of an arbitrary partition of the time interval and connected at successive division points. The closeness of the initial and approximate solutions is measured in the L^p-th norm, uniformly on the time interval. The convergence with probability one is also given.     

General Autoregressive Models with Long-Memory Noise

We give the limiting distribution of the least-squares estimator in the general autoregressive model driven by a long-memory process. We prove that with an appropriate normalization the estimation error converges, in distribution, to a random vector which contains: (1) a stochastic component, due to the presence of the unstable roots, which are multiple Wiener–Itô integrals and a non-linear functionals of stochastic integrals with respect to a Brownian motion; (2) a constant component due to the stable roots; (3) a stochastic component, due to the presence of the explosive roots, which is a mixture of normal distributions.     

Central limit theorems for multiple stochastic integrals and Malliavin calculus

We give a new characterization for the convergence in distribution to a standard normal law of a sequence of multiple stochastic integrals of a fixed order with variance one, in terms of the Malliavin derivatives of the sequence. We also give a new proof of the main theorem in [D. Nualart, G. Peccati, Central limit theorems for sequences of multiple stochastic integrals, Ann. Probab. 33 (2005) 177–193] using techniques of Malliavin calculus. Finally, we extend our result to the multidimensional case and prove a weak convergence result for a sequence of square integrable random vectors, giving an application.

Large Deviations for Stochastic Volterra Equations in the Plane

We prove a Large Deviation Principle for the family of solutions of Volterra equations in the plane obtained by perturbation of the driving white noise. One of the motivations for the study of such class of equations is provided by non-linear hyperbolic stochastic partial differential equations appearing in the construction of some path-valued processes on manifolds. The proof uses the method developped by Azencott for diffusion processes. The main ingredients are exponential inequalities for different classes of two-parameter stochastic integrals; these integrals are related to the representation of the stochastic term in the differential equation as a representable semimatringale.     

Fermion martingales

Summary We show that strictly quasi-free Fermion martingales may be expressed as a sum of quantum stochastic integrals with respect to the Fermi creation and annihilation processes and a multiple of the identity.

Stochastic Integrals and Stochastic Differential Equations over the Field of p-Adic Numbers

We construct, for various classes of p-adic-valued functions, stochastic integrals with respect to the Poisson random measure. This leads to the construction of Markov processes over the field of p-adic numbers by means of stochastic differential equations.     

Almost Sure Convergence of the Numerical Discretization of Stochastic Jump Diffusions

Based on the shuffle product expansion of exponential Lie series in terms of a Philip Hall basis for the stochastic differential equations of jump-diffusion type, we can establish Stratonovich–Taylor–Hall (STH) schemes. However, the STHr scheme converges only at order r in the mean-square sense. In order to have the almost sure Stratonovich–Taylor–Hall (ASTH) schemes, we have to include all the terms related to multiple Poissonian integrals as the moments of multiple Poissonian integrals always have lower orders of magnitudes as compared with those of multiple Brownian integrals.     

Brownian and fractional Brownian stochastic currents via Malliavin calculus

By using Malliavin calculus and multiple Wiener-Itô integrals, we study the existence and the regularity of stochastic currents defined as Skorohod (divergence) integrals with respect to the Brownian motion and to the fractional Brownian motion. We consider also the multidimensional multiparameter case and we compare the regularity of the current as a distribution in negative Sobolev spaces with its regularity in the Watanabe spaces.
