Abstract: | In this article the Feynman-Kac formula is obtained for a Markov process (Xt) whose transition probability function is not stationary. A converse to the Feynman-Kac formula is also obtained. This is used to prove the uniqueness of the solution to a measure-valued equation satisfied by the optimal filter in the white-noise approach to nonlinear filtering theory.Research partially supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research Contract No. F49620 85 C 0144 and by the Indian Statistical Institute. |
