Symmetric stochastic integrals with respect to p-adic Brownian motion†

In this paper, we consider complex-valued Brownian motion with p-adic time index and the associated abstract Wiener space. We define symmetric stochastic integrals with respect to p-adic Brownian motion. We also provide a sufficient condition for the existence of symmetric stochastic integrals and present a relation to the adjoint of the Malliavin derivatives.     

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.     

Some linear fractional stochastic equations

Using the multiple stochastic integrals, we prove an existence and uniqueness result for a linear stochastic equation driven by the fractional Brownian motion with any Hurst parameter. We study both the one- and two-parameter cases. When the drift is zero, we show that in the one-parameter case the solution is an exponential—thus positive—function while in the two-parameter setting the solution is negative on a non-negligible set.     

Central limit theorem for an iterated integral with respect to fBm with H>1/2

We construct an iterated stochastic integral with respect to fractional Brownian motion (fBm) with H>1/2. The first integrand is a deterministic function, and each successive integral is with respect to an independent fBm. We show that this symmetric stochastic integral is equal to the Malliavin divergence integral. By a version of the Fourth Moment Theorem of Nualart and Peccati [10], we show that a family of such integrals converges in distribution to a scaled Brownian motion. An application is an approximation to the windings for a planar fBm, previously studied by Baudoin and Nualart [2].     

Asymptotic Windings of Brownian Motion Paths on Riemann Surfaces

We study asymptotic winding properties of Brownian motion paths on Riemann surfaces by obtaining limit laws for stochastic line integrals along Brownian paths of meromorphic differential 1-forms (Abelian differentials).     

Weighted BMO and discrete time hedging within the Black-Scholes model

The paper combines two objects rather different at first glance: spaces of stochastic processes having weighted bounded mean oscillation (weighted BMO) and the approximation of certain stochastic integrals, driven by the geometric Brownian motion, by integrals over piece-wise constant integrands. The consideration of the approximation error with respect to weighted BMO implies L_p and uniform distributional estimates for the approximation error by a John-Nirenberg type theorem. The general results about weighted BMO are given in the first part of the paper and applied to our approximation problem in the second one.     

Regularity Properties of Some Stochastic Volterra Integrals with Singular Kernel

We prove the Hölder continuity of some stochastic Volterra integrals, with singular kernels, under integrability assumptions on the integrand. Some applications to processes arising in the analysis of the fractional Brownian motion are given. The main tool is the embedding of some Besov spaces into some sets of Hölder continuous functions.

Some properties of the sub-fractional Brownian motion

We study several properties of the sub-fractional Brownian motion (fBm) introduced by Bojdecki et al. related to those of the fBm. This process is a self-similar Gaussian process depending on a parameter H ∈ (0, 2) with non stationary increments and is a generalization of the Brownian motion (Bm).

The strong variation of the indefinite stochastic integral with respect to sub-fBm is also discussed.     

Controlled differential equations as Young integrals: A simple approach

The theory of rough paths allows one to define controlled differential equations driven by a path which is irregular. The most simple case is the one where the driving path has finite p-variations with 1?p<2, in which case the integrals are interpreted as Young integrals. The prototypal example is given by stochastic differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index greater than 1/2. Using simple computations, we give the main results regarding this theory - existence, uniqueness, convergence of the Euler scheme, flow property … - which are spread out among several articles.     

Differentiation formula in Stratonovich version for fractional Brownian sheet

We introduce two types of the Stratonovich stochastic integrals for two-parameter processes, and investigate the relationship of these Stratonovich integrals and various types of Skorohod integrals with respect to a fractional Brownian sheet. By using this relationship, we derive a differentiation formula in the Stratonovich sense for fractional Brownian sheet through Itô formula. Also the relationship between the two types of the Stratonovich integrals will be obtained and used to derive a differentiation formula in the Stratonovich sense. In this case, our proof is based on the repeated applications of differentiation formulas in the Stratonovich form for one-parameter Gaussian processes.

Frechet-valued martingales and stochastic integrals

Stochastic processes with values in a separable Frechet space whose a itinuous linear functional are real-valued square integrable martingales are investigated. The coordinate measures on the Fréchet space are obtained from cylinder set measures on a Hilbert space that is dense in the Fréchet space. Real-valued stochastic integrals are defined from the Fréchet-valued martingales using integrands from the topological dual of the aforementioned Hilbert space. An increasing process with values in the self adjoint operators on the Hilbert space plays a fundamental role in the definition of stochastic integrals. For Banach-valued Brownian motion the change of variables formula of K. Itô is generalized. A converse to the construction of the measures on the Fréchet space from cylinder set measures on a Hilbert space is also obtained.     

A note on chaotic and predictable representations for Itô–Markov additive processes

In this article, we provide predictable and chaotic representations for Itô–Markov additive processes X. Such a process is governed by a finite-state continuous time Markov chain J which allows one to modify the parameters of the Itô-jump process (in so-called regime switching manner). In addition, the transition of J triggers the jump of X distributed depending on the states of J just prior to the transition. This family of processes includes Markov modulated Itô–Lévy processes and Markov additive processes. The derived chaotic representation of a square-integrable random variable is given as a sum of stochastic integrals with respect to some explicitly constructed orthogonal martingales. We identify the predictable representation of a square-integrable martingale as a sum of stochastic integrals of predictable processes with respect to Brownian motion and power-jumps martingales related to all the jumps appearing in the model. This result generalizes the seminal result of Jacod–Yor and is of importance in financial mathematics. The derived representation then allows one to enlarge the incomplete market by a series of power-jump assets and to price all market-derivatives.     

Stochastic integration with respect to multifractional Brownian motion via tangent fractional Brownian motions

Stochastic integration w.r.t. fractional Brownian motion (fBm) has raised strong interest in recent years, motivated in particular by applications in finance and Internet traffic modelling. Since fBm is not a semi-martingale, stochastic integration requires specific developments. Multifractional Brownian motion (mBm) generalizes fBm by letting the local Hölder exponent vary in time. This is useful in various areas, including financial modelling and biomedicine. The aim of this work is twofold: first, we prove that an mBm may be approximated in law by a sequence of “tangent” fBms. Second, using this approximation, we show how to construct stochastic integrals w.r.t. mBm by “transporting” corresponding integrals w.r.t. fBm. We illustrate our method on examples such as the Wick–Itô, Skorohod and pathwise integrals.     

On Double Stratonovich Fractional Integrals and Some Strong and Weak Approximations

Abstract

Double Stratonovich integrals with respect to the odd part and even part of the fractional Brownian motion are constructed. The first and the second moments of such integrals are explicitly identified. As application of double Stratonovich integrals a strong law of large numbers for efBm and ofBm is derived.

Riemann–Stieltjes integral approximations to double Stratonovich fractional integrals are also considered. The strong convergence (almost surely and mean square) is obtained for approximations based on explicit series expansions of the fractional Brownian processes. The weak convergence is derived for approximations by processes with absolutely continuous paths which converge weakly to the considered fractional Brownian processes. The above-mentioned convergences are obtained for deterministic integrands which are given by bimeasures.

Abstract

We study multiple Riemann-Stieltjes integral approximations to multiple Stratonovich fractional integrals. Two standard approximations (Wong-Zakai and Mollifier approximations) are considered and we show the convergence in the mean square sense and uniformly on compact time intervals of these approximations to the multiple Stratonovich fractional integral.
