For non-anticipative functionals, differentiable in Chitashvili s sense, the Itô formula for cadlag semimartingales is proved. Relations between different notions of functional derivatives are established. 21 Mathematics Subject Classification. 9A9, 6H3, 9C39 Keywords: The Itô formula, semimartingales, non-anticipative functionals, functional derivatives 1 Introduction The classical Itô [9] formula shows that for a sufficiently smooth function (f(t,x),t,x R) the transformed process f(t,x t ) is a semimartingale for any semimartingale X and provides a decomposition of the process 1
2 f(t,x t ) as a sum of stochastic integral relative to X and a process of finite variation. This formula is applicable to functions of the current value of semimartingales, but in many applications, such as statistics of random processes, stochastic optimal control or mathematical finance, uncertainty affects through the whole history of the process and it is necessary to consider functionals of entire path of a semimartingale. In 29 Dupire [8] proposed a method to extend the Itô formula for non-anticipative functionals using naturally defined pathwise time and space derivatives. The space derivative measures the sensitivity of a functional f : D([,T],R) R to a variation in the endpoint of a path ω D([,T],R) and is defined as a limit f(t,ω +hi [t,t] ) f(t,ω) ω f(t,ω) = lim, h h if this limit exists, where D([,T]) is the space of RCLL ( right continuous with left limits) functions. Similarly is defined the second order space derivative ωω f := ω (f ω ). The definition of the time derivative is based on the flat extension of a path ω up to time t+h and is defined as a limit t f(t,ω) = lim h + f(t+h,ω t ) f(t,ω), h whenever this limit exists, where ω t = ω(. t) is the path of ω stopped at time t. If a continuous non-anticipative functional f is from C 1,2, i.e., if t f, ω f, ωω f exist and are continuous with respect to the metric d (defined in section 2) and X is a continuous semimartingale, Dupire [8] proved that the process f(t,x) is also a semimartingale and f(t,x) = f(,x) t f(s,x)ds+ ω f(s,x)dx s ωω f(s,x)d X s. (1) For the special case of f(t,x t ) these derivatives coincide with the usual space and time derivatives and the above formula reduces to the standard Itô formula. Erlier related works are the works by Ahn [1] and Tevzadze [15], where 2
3 Itô s formula was derived in very particular cases of functionals that assume the knowledge of the whole path without path dependent dynamics. Further works extending this theory and corresponding references one can see in [5], [6], [12],[13]. Motivated by applications in stochastic optimal control, before Dupire s work, Chitashvili (1983) defined differentiability of non-anticipative functionals in a different way and proved the corresponding Itô formula for continuous semimartingales. His definition is based on hypothetical change of variable formula for continuous functions of finite variation. We formulate Chitashvili s definition of differentiability and present his change of variable formula in a simplified form and for one-dimensional case. Let C [,T] be the space of continuous functions on [,T] equipped with the uniform norm. Let f(t,ω) be non-anticipative continuous mapping of C [,T] into C [,T] and denote by V [,T] the space of functions of finite variation on [,T]. A continuous non-anticipative functional f is differentiable if there exist continuous functionals f and f 1 such that for all ω C [,T] V [,T] f(t,ω) = f(,ω)+ f (s,ω)ds+ f 1 (s,ω)dω s. (2) A functional f is two times differentiable if f 1 is differentiable, i.e., if there exist continuous functionals f,1 and f 1,1 satisfying f 1 (t,ω) = f 1 (,ω)+ f 1, (s,ω)ds+ f 1,1 (s,ω)dω s. (3) for all ω C [,T] V [,T]. Herefunctionalsf,f 1 andf 1,1 playtheroleoftime, spaceandthesecond order space derivatives respectively. It was proved by Chitashvili [3] that if the functional f is two times differentiable then the process f(t, X) is a semimartingale for any continuous semimartingale X and is represented as f(t,x) = f(,x) f (s,x)ds+ f 1 (s,x)dx s f 1,1 (s,x)d X s. (4) 3
4 The idea of the proof of change of variable formula(4) for semimartingales is to use the change of variable formula for functions of finite variations, first for the function f and then for its derivative f 1, before approximating a continuous semimartingale X by processes of finite variation. In the paper Ren et al [14] a wider class of C 1,2 functionals was proposed, which is based on the Ito formula itself. We formulate this definition in equivalent form and in one-dimensional case. The function f belongs to C 1,2 RTZ, if f is a continuous non-anticipative functional on [,T] C [,T] and there exist continuous non-anticipative functionals α,z,γ, such that f(t,x) = f(,x)+ α(s,x)ds+ z(s,x)dx s γ(s,x)d X s (5) for any continuous semimartingale X. The functionals α, z and γ also play the role of time, first and second order space derivatives respectively. Since any process of finite variation is a semimartingale and any deterministic semimartingale is a function of finite variation, it follows from f C 1,2 RTZ that f is differentiable in the Chitashvili sense and α = f, z = f 1. (6) Becides, any C 1,2 process in the Dupire or Chitashvili sense is in C 1,2 RTZ, which is a consequence of the functional Itô formula proved in [8] and [3] respectively. Although, the definition of the class C 1,2 RTZ does not require that γ be (in some sense) the derivative of z, but if f C 1,2 in the Chitashvili sense, then beside equality (6) we also have that γ = f 1,1 (i.e., γ = z 1 ). Our goal is to extend the formula (4) for RCLL (or cadlag in French terminology) semimartingales and to establish how Dupire s, Chitashvili s and other derivatives are related. Since the bumped path used in the definition of Dupire s vertical derivative is not continuous even if ω is continuous, to compare derivatives defined by (2) with Dupire s derivatives, one should extend Chitashvili s definition to RCLL processes, or to modify Dupire s derivative in such a way that perturbation of continuous paths remain continuous. The direct extension of Chitashvili s definition of differentiability for RCLL functions is following: A continuous functional f is differentiable, if there exist continuous functionals f and f 1 (continuous with respect to the metric d defined by (1)) 4
5 such that f(,ω) V [,T] for all ω V [,T] and f(t,ω) = f(,ω)+ f (s,ω)ds+ f 1 (s,ω)dω s (7) + s t [ f(s,ω) f(s,ω) f 1 (s,ω) ω s ], for all (t,ω) [,T] V [,T]. In order to compare Dupire s derivatives with Chitashvili s derivatives, we introduce another type of vertical derivative where, unlike to Dupire s derivative ω f, thepathdeformationofcontinuous pathsarealso continuous. We say that a non-anticipative functional f(t, ω) is vertically differentiable and denote this differential by D ω f(t,ω), if the limit D ω f(t,ω) := lim h,h> exists for all (t,ω) [,T] D [,T], where f(t+h,ω t +χ t,h ) f(t+h,ω t ), (8) h χ t,h (s) = (s t)1 (t,t+h] (s)+h1 (t+h,t] (s). Letf(t,ω)bedifferentiableinthesenseof(7). Then, asprovedinproposition 1, f (t,ω) = t f(t,ω) and f 1 (t,ω) = D ω f(t,ω). (9) for all (t,ω) [,T] D [,T]. Thus, f coincides with Dupire s time derivative, but f 1 is equal to D ω f which is different from Dupire s vertical derivative in general. The simplest counterexample is f(t,ω) = ω t ω t. It is evident that in this case ω f = 1 and D ω f =. In general, if g(t,ω) := f(t,ω) then D ω g(t,ω) = D ω f(t,ω) and ω g(t,ω) = if corresponding derivatives of f exist. However, under stronger conditions, e.g. if f C 1,1 in the Dupire sense, then D ω f exists and D ω f = f 1 = ω f. The paper is organized as follows: In section 2 we extend Citashvili s change of variable formula for RCLL semimartingales and give an application of this formula on the convergence of ordinary integrals to the stochastic integrals. In section 3 we establish relations between different type of derivatives for non-anticipative functionals. 5
6 2 The Itô formula according to Chitashvili for cadlag semimartingales Let Ω := D([,T],R) be the set of càdlàg paths. Denote by ω the elements of Ω, by ω t the value of ω at time t and let ω t = ω( t) be the path of ω stopped at t. Let B be the canonical process defined by B t (ω) = ω t, F = (F t,t [,T]) the corresponding filtration and let Λ := [,T] Ω. The functional f : [,T] D[,T] R is non-anticipative if f(t,ω) = f(t,ω t ) for all ω D[,T], i.e., the process f(t,ω) depends only on the path of ω up to time t and is F- adapted. Following Dupire, we define semi-norms on Ω and a pseudo-metric on Λ as follows: for any (t,ω),(t,ω ) Λ, ω t := sup ω s, s t ( ( d (t,ω), t,ω )) := t t + sup ωt s ω t s. s T (1) Then (Ω, T ) is a Banach space and (Λ,d ) is a complete pseudo-metric space. Let V = V[,T] be the set of finite variation paths from Ω. Note that, if f C(Λ), then from ω t = follows f(t,ω) f(t,ω) =, since d ((t n,ω),(t,ω)) when t n t. Hence f(t,ω) f(t,ω) means ω t. Note that any functional f : [,T] Ω R continuous with respect to d is non-anticipative. In this paper we consider only d -continuous, and hence non-anticipative, functionals. Definition 1. We say that a continuous functional f C([,T] Ω) is differentiable, if there exist f C([,T] Ω) and f 1 C([,T] Ω) such that for all ω V the process f(t,ω) is of finite variation and f(t,ω) = f(,ω)+ f (s,ω)ds+ f 1 (s,ω)dω s (11) + s t [ f(s,ω) f(s,ω) f 1 (s,ω) ω s ], for all (t,ω) [,T] V. 6
7 A functional f is two times differentiable if f 1 is differentiable, i.e., if there exist f,1 C([,T] Ω) and f 1,1 C([,T] Ω) such that for all (t,ω) [,T] V f 1 (t,ω) = f 1 (,ω)+ where f 1, (s,ω)ds+ f 1,1 (s,ω)dω s +V 1 (t,ω), (12) V 1 (t,ω) = s t ( f 1 (s,ω) f 1 (s,ω) f 1,1 (s,ω) ω s ). Now we give a generalization of Theorem 2 from Chitashvili [3] for general cadlag (RCLL) semimartingales. Theorem 1. Let f be two times differentiable in the sense of Definition 1 and assume that for some K > f(t,ω) f(t,ω) f 1 (t,ω) ω t K( ω t ) 2, ω V. (13) Then for any semimartingale X the process f(t,x) is a semimartingale and f(t,x) = f(,x)+ f 1,1 (s,x)d X c s + s t f (s,x)ds+ f 1 (s,x)dx s [ f(s,x) f(s,x) f 1 (s,x) X s ]. (14) Proof. Let first assume that X is a semimartingale with the decomposition X t = A t +M t,t [,T], (15) wherem isacontinuous localmartingaleandaisaprocess offinitevariation having only finite number of jumps, i.e., the jumps of A are exhausted by graphs of finite number of stopping times (τ i,1 i l,l < ). Let Xt n = A t +Mt n and M n t = n It is proved in [3] that M s exp( n( M t M s )d M s. (16) sup Ms n M t, as n, a.s. (17) s t 7
8 Since X n is of bounded variation, f is differentiable and Xt n = A t = X t, it follows from (11) that + + s t f(t,x n ) = f(,x)+ f 1 (s,x n )dx s + f (s,x n )ds f 1 (s,x n )d(m n s M s) ( f(s,x n ) f(s,x n ) f 1 (s,x n ) X s ). (18) Since X admits finite number of jumps, by continuity of f and f 1, ( ) f(s,x n ) f(s,x n ) f 1 (s,x n ) X s (19) s t s t ( f(s,x) f(s,x) f 1 (s,x) X s ) The continuity of f,f,f 1 and relation (17) imly that f(t,x n ) f(t,x), as n, a.s., (2) f (s,x n )ds by the dominated convergence theorem and f 1 (s,x n )dx s f (s,x)ds as n, a.s.. (21) f 1 (s,x)dx s as n, a.s.. (22) by the dominated convergence theorem for stochastic integrals. Here we may use the dominated convergence theorem, since by continuity of f i (i =,1) the process sup n,s t f i (s,x n ) is locally bounded (see Lemma A1). Let us show now that f 1 (s,x n )d(m n s M s) 1 2 Integration by parts and (12) give f 1,1 (s,x)d M s. (23) f 1 (s,x n )d(m n s M s) = (M n t M t )f 1 (t,x n ) 8

(24) It(n) 1 (as n, a.s.) by continuity of f 1 and (17). It 2(n) and I3 t (n) tend to zero (as n, a.s.) by continuity of f1, and f 1,1, relation (17) and by the dominated convergence theorem (using the same arguments as in (21)-(22)). Moreover, since A admits finite number of jumps at (τ i,1 i l) I t (5) = s t(m n s M s) ( f 1 (s,x n ) f 1 (s,x n ) f 1,1 (s,x n ) A s ) (25) = i l (M n τ i M τi ) ( f 1 (τ i,x n ) f 1 (τ i,x n ) f 1,1 (τ i,x n ) A τi ) sup Ms n M s ( 2l sup f 1 (s,x n ) + sup f 1,1 (s,x n ) s t n,s t n,s t i l A τi ), asn, since thecontinuity off 1,f 1,1, relation(17) andlemma A1 imply that sup n,s t f 1 (s,x n ) +sup n,s t f 1,1 (s,x n ) < (a.s.) Let us consider now the term Let It 4 (n) = (M s Ms n )f1,1 (s,x n )dms n K n t = (M s M n s )dmn s. Using the formula of integration by parts we have K n t = 1 2 (Mn t )2 +M t M n t M n s dm s and it follows from (17), the dominated convergence theorem and equality M 2 t = 2 M sdm s + M t, that sup s t K n s 1 2 M s, as n, a.s. (26) 9
10 From definition of M n, using the formula of integration by parts, it follows that M n admits representation Therefore M n t = n K n t = n (M s M n s )d M s. (M s M n s )2 d M s. This implies that K n is a sequence of increasing processes, which is stochastically bounded by (26) (i.e. satisfies the condition UT from ([11]) and by theorem 6.2 of([11]) (it follows also from lemma 12 of [5]) = (M s M n s )f1,1 (s,x n )dm n s = f 1,1 (s,x n )dk n s 1 2 f 1,1 (s,x)d M s, n, which (together with (24)) implies the convergence (23). Therefore, the formula (14) for the process X with decomposition (15) follows by passage to the limit in (18) using relations (19)-(23). Note that in this cased the condition (13) is not needed. Let consider now the general case. Any semimartingale X admits a decomposition X t = A t + M t, where A is a process of finite variation and M is a locally square integrable martingale (such decomposition is not unique, but the continuous martingale parts coincide for all such decompositions of X, which is sufficient for our goals) see [1]. Let M t = M c t + Md t, where M c and M d are continuous and purely discontinuous martingale parts of M respectively. Let A t = A c t + Ad t be the decomposition of A, where A c and A d are continuous and purely discontinuous processes of finite variations respectively. Note that A d is the sum of its jumps, whereas M d is the sum of compensated jumps of M. So, we shall use the decomposition X t = A c t +Ad t +Mc t +Md t (27) for X and using localization arguments, without loss of generality, one can assume that M c and M d are square integrable martingales. 1
11 Let Mt d (n) be the compensated sum of jumps of M of amplitude greater than 1/n, which is a martingale of finite variation and is expressed as a difference Mt d (n) = Bn t B t n, (28) where B n t = s t M si ( Ms 1/n) and B n is the dual predictable projection of B n. It can be expressed also as compensated stochastic integral (see [7]) Mt d (n) = I ( Ms > 1 n ) C dm s, where by H C Y we denote the compensated stochastic integral. Since M d t (n) Md t = I (< Ms 1 n ) C dm s, it follows from Doob s inequality and from [7] (theorem 33, Ch.VIII) that Esup Ms d (n) Md s 2 conste[m d (n) M d ] t = conste[i (< M 1 n s t ) C M] conste I (< Ms 1 n )d[m] s, as n by dominated convergence theorem, since E[M d ] T <. Hence sup Ms d (n) Md s, as n, a.s. (29) s t for some subsequence, for which we preserve the same notation. Let Since we have that A d t(n) = s t I ( As > 1 n ) A s = I ( As > 1 n )da s. A d t Ad t (n) I (< As 1 ) da s n sup A d s (n) Ad t, as n, a.s. (3) s t Let X n t = A c t +Ad t (n)+md t (n)+mc t. 11
12 Relations (29) and (3) imply that sup X s (n) X s, as n, a.s., (31) s t Thus, X n is a sum of continuous local martingale M c and a process of finite variation A c t +A d t(n)+mt d (n) which admits only finite number of jumps for every n 1. Therefore, as it is already proved, f(t,x n ) = f(,x n )+ f (s,x n )ds+ + f 1 (s,x n )d(ms n (d) Md s )+ + s t f 1 (s,x n )dx s f 1 (s,x n )d(a n s (d) Ad s ) + 1 f 1,1 (s,x)d X c s 2 ( ) f(s,x n ) f(s,x n ) f 1 (s,x n ) Xs n. (32) By continuity of f,f and f 1 f(t,x n ) f(t,x), as n, a.s., (33) f (s,x n )ds by the dominated convergence theorem and f 1 (s,x n )dx s f (s,x)ds as n, a.s.. (34) f 1 (s,x)dx s as n, a.s.. (35) by the dominated convergence theorem for stochastic integrals (using the same arguments as in (21)- (22)). By properties of compensated stochastic integrals f 1 (s,x n )d(m d s(n) M d s) = and using theorem 33, Ch. VIII from [7] E ( f 1 (s,x n )I (< Ms 1 n ) C dm s f 1 (s,x n )I (< Ms 1 n ) C dm ) 2 s 12

Similarly, f1 (s,x n )d(a n s (d) Ad s ) also tends to zero, since f 1 (s,x n )d(a n s(d) A d s) From (28) f 1 (s,x n ) I (< As 1 n ) da s. (37) M n s (d) = M si ( Ms 1/n) ( MI ( M 1/n) ) p s, where Y p is the usual projection of Y. Here we used the fact that the jump of the dual projection of B n is the usual projection of the jump, i.e. B n t = ( B n ) p t. Therefore, using condition (13) we have that (f(s,x n ) f(s,x n ) f 1 (s,x n ) X n s const.( Xn s )2 = const. ( ) A s I ( As 1/n) + M s I ( Ms 1/n) ( MI ( M 1/n) ) p 2 s 3const. ( ( A s ) 2 +( M s ) 2 +E(( M s ) 2 /F s ) ). (38) Since, it follows from (31) and continuity of f and f 1, that f(s,x n ) f(s,x n ) f 1 (s,x n ) X n s f(s,x) f(s,x) f1 (s,x) X s and ( ( As ) 2 +( M s ) 2 +E(( M s ) 2 /F s ) ) <, s t the dominated convergence theorem implies that ( f(s,x n ) f(s,x n ) f 1 (s,x n ) Xs) n s t s t ( f(s,x) f(s,x) f 1 (s,x) X s ), as n. (39) Therefore, passing to the limit in (32) it follows from (33)-(39) that (14) holds. 13
14 Now we give one application of the change of variable formula (14) to the convergence of stochastic integrals. If g(t,x),t,x R) is a function of two variables admitting continuous partial derivatives g(t, x)/ t, g(t,x)/ x and V n is a sequence of processes of finite variations converging to the Wiener process, then it was proved by Wong and Zakai [16] that the sequence of ordinary integrals g(s,v n s )dvs n converges to the Stratanovich stochastic integral. The following assertion generalizes this result for nonanticipative functionals g(t, ω). Corollary. Assume that f(t, ω) is differentiable in the sense of Definition 1 and there is a continuous on [,T] D([,T]) functional F(t,ω) such that F(t,ω) = f(s,ω)dω s (4) For all ω V [,T]. Let X be a cadlag semimartingale and let (V n,n 1) be a sequence of processes of finite variation converging to X uniformly on [,T]. Then lim n f(s,v n )dvs n = f(s,x)dx s Proof: By continuity of F and (4) lim n It is evident that f 1 (s,x)d X c s. (41) f(s,v n )dv n s = lim n F(t,V n ) = F(t,X). (42) F 1 (t,ω) = f(t,ω), F (t,ω) = and F(t,ω) F(t,ω) F 1 (t,ω) ω t =, Thus, F is two times differentiable in the sense of definition 1 and condition (13) is automatically satisfied. Therefore, by the Itô formula (14) F(t,X) = f(s,x)dx s which, together with (42) implies the convergence (41). f 1 (s,x)d X c s, 14
15 3 The relations between various definitions of functional derivatives Following Dupire [8] we define time and space derivatives, called also horizontal and vertical derivatives of the non-anticipative functionals. Definition 2. A non-anticipative functional f(t, ω) is said to be horizontally differentiable at (t,ω) Λ if the limit 1[ t f(t,ω) := lim f(t+h,ω t ) f(t,ω) ], t < T, (43) h,h> h exists. If t f(t,ω) exists for all (t,ω) Λ, then the non-anticipating functional f t is called the horizontal derivative of f. A non-anticipative functional f(t, ω) is vertically differentiable at (t, ω) Λ if 1[ ω f(t,ω) := lim f(t,ω +h1[t,t] ) f(t,ω) ], (44) h h exists. If f is vertically differentiable at all (t,ω) Λ then the map ω f : Λ R defines a non-anticipative map, called the vertical derivative of f. Similarly one can define ωω f := ω ( f ω ),. (45) Define C 1,k ([,T) Ω) as the set of functionals f, which are horizontally differentiable with t f continuous at fixed times, k times vertically differentiable with continuous k ωf. The following assertion follows from the generalized Itô formula for cadlag semimartingales proved in [5] (see also [12]). Theorem 2. Let f C 1,1 ([,T] Ω). Then for all (t,ω) [,T] V f(t,ω) = f(,ω)+ t f(s,ω)ds+ ω f(s,ω)dω s + s t(f(s,ω) f(s,ω) ω f(s,ω) ω s ) and f(t,ω) V for all ω V. 15
16 V(t,ω) := s t Corollary. If f C 1,1 ([,T] Ω), then f is differentiable in the sense of Definition 1 and t f = f, ω f = f 1. In order to compare Dupire s derivatives with Chitashvili s derivative (the derivative in the sense of Definition 1), we introduce another type of vertical derivative where, unlike to Dupire s derivative ω f, the path deformation of continuous paths remain continuous. Definition 3. We say that a non-anticipative functional f(t, ω) is vertically differentiable and denote this differential by D ω f(t,ω), if the limit D ω f(t,ω) := lim h,h> exists for all (t,ω) [,T] Ω, where f(t+h,ω t +χ t,h ) f(t+h,ω t ), (46) h χ t,h (s) = (s t)1 (t,t+h] (s)+h1 (t+h,t] (s). The second order derivative is defined similarly D ωω f = D ω (D ω f). Note that, if f(t,ω) = g(ω t ) for any ω D[,T], where g = (g(x),x R) is a differentiable function, then D ω f(t,ω) (so as ω f(t,ω)) coincides with g (ω t ). Proposition 1. Let f C([,T] Ω) be differentiable in the sense of Definition 1, i.e., there exist f,f 1 C([,T] Ω), such that for all (t,ω) [,T] V f(t,ω) = f(,ω)+ f (s,ω)ds+ f 1 (s,ω)dω s +V(t,ω), (47) where [ f(s,ω) f(s,ω) f 1 (s,ω) ω s ] is of finite variation for all ω V. Then for all (t,ω) [,T] D([,T]) f (t,ω) = t f(t,ω) and f 1 (t,ω) = D ω f(t,ω). (48) 16
17 Proof. Since ω t is constant on [t,t] and f(t,ω t ) = f(t,ω), if s t, from (47) we have that for any ω V and f(t+h,ω t ) = f(,ω)+ + f (s,ω)ds+ t +h f 1 (s,ω)dω s +V(t,ω) f (s,ω t )ds+ (49) f(t+h,ω t +χ t,h ) = f(,ω)+ f (s,ω)ds+ f 1 (s,ω)dω s + (5) +h +h + f (s,ω t +χ t,h )ds+ f 1 (s,ω t +χ t,h )ds+v(t,ω). t t Therefore f(t+h,ω t ) f(t,ω) t f(t,ω) = lim = h h 1 t+h = lim f (s,ω t )ds = f (t,ω) h h t by continuity of f. It is evident that χ t,h (s) h and χ t,h (s) χ t, (s) h = χ t,h(s) h 1 [t,t] (s) as h +, s [,T]. Trerefore, relations (5)-(49) and continuity of f 1 and f imply that f(t+h,ω t +χ t,h ) f(t+h,ω t ) D ω f(t,ω) = lim = h h 1 t+h ( = lim f (s,ω t +χ t,h ) f (s,ω t ) ) ds h h t 1 t+h +lim f 1 (s,ω t +χ t,h )ds = f 1 (t,ω) h h t for any ω V([,T ]) and by continuity of f 1 this equality is true for all ω D([,T]). 17
18 Remark. If f C([,T] Ω) is two times differentiable in the sense of Definition 1, then similarly one can show that f 1,1 (t,ω) = D ωω f(s,ω). Corrolary 1. Let f C 1,1 ([,T] Ω). Then for all (t,ω) Λ ω f(t,ω) = f 1 (t,ω) = D ω f(t,ω). In general ω f(t,ω) and D ω f(t,ω) are not equal. Counterexample 1. Let g = (g(x),x r) be a bounded differentiable function and let f(t,ω) = g(ω t ) g(ω t ). Then ω f(t,ω) = g (ω t ) and f(t+h,ω t +χ t,h ) f(t+h,ω t ) D ω f(t,ω) = lim =, since h + h f(t+h,ω t +χ t,h ) f(t+h,ω t ) = g(ω t +h) g(ω t +h) g(ω t )+g(ω t ) =. It is evident that f C 1,1 (Λ), since f C(Λ) and t f =. The following assertion shows that if f belongs to the class C 1,2 (Λ) of non-anticipative functionals, then f ω (t,ω) and f ωω (t,ω) are uniquelly determined by the restriction of f to continuous paths. This assertion is proved by Cont and Fournie [4] (see also [2]) in a complicated way. We give a simple proof based on Proposition 1. Corrolary 2. Let f 1 and f 2 belong to C 1,2 (Λ) in the Dupire sense and Then f 1 (t,ω) = f 2 (t,ω) for all (t,ω) [,T] C([,T]). (51) ω f 1 (t,ω) = ω f 2 (t,ω), ωω f 1 (t,ω) = ωω f 2 (t,ω) (52) for all (ω,t) [,T] C([,T]). Proof. By Theorem 2 f i (t,ω) = f i (,ω)+ t f i (s,ω)ds+ ω f i (s,ω)dω s i = 1,2, (53) for all ω C([,T]) V([,T]). It follows from Proposition 1 that ω f i (t,ω) = D ω f i (t,ω); i = 1,2. 18
19 Since ω t +χ t,h C([,T]) if ω C([,T]), by definition of D ω and equality (51) we have D ω f 1 (t,ω) = D ω f 2 (t,ω) for all (t,ω) [,T] C([,T])), (54) which implies that ω f 1 (t,ω) = ω f 2 (t,ω), for all (t,ω) [,T] C([,T]), (55) It is evident that t f 1 (t,ω) = t f 2 (t,ω) for all (ω,t) [,T] C([,T]). Therefore, comparing the Itô formulas (4) for f 1 (t,ω) and f 2 (t,ω) we obtain that u t ωω f 1 (s,ω)d ω s = u t ωω f 2 (s,ω)d ω s for any continuous semimartinale ω. Dividing both parts of this equality by ω u ω t and passing to the limit as u t, we obtain that ωω f 1 (t,ω) = ωω f 2 (t,ω) for any continuous semimartingale and by continuity of ωω f 1 (t,ω) and ωω f 2 (t,ω) this equality will be true for all ω C([,T]). Proposition 2. Let f C([,T] Ω) be differentiable in the sense of Definition 1 and f(t,ω) f(t,ω) ωt f 1 (t,ω) K ωt 2 (56) for some K >. Then (or for all ω continuous at t). f (t,ω) = t f(t,ω), (t,ω) Λ, f 1 (t,ω) = ω f(t,ω), ω C[,T] Proof. For ω D[,T] let ω = ω s if s < t and ω = ω s +h, if s t, i.e. ω = ω t +h1 [t,t], hence ω s = h. Therefore, using condition (56) for ω we have f(t,ω t +h1 [t,t] ) f(t,ω) h It follows from here that f 1 (t,ω) K h, h. f(t,ω t +h1 [t,t] ) f(t,ω) lim = f 1 (t,ω), h h 19
20 which implies that f 1 (t,ω) = ω f(t,ω) if ω is continuous at t. Equality f 1 (t,ω) = t f(t,ω), (t,ω) Λ is proved in Proposition 1. Now we introduce definition of space derivatives which can be calculated pathwise along the differentiable paths and using such derivatives in Theorem 3 below a change of variables formula for functions of finite variations is proved, which gives sufficient conditions for the existence of derivatives in the Chitashvili sense. Definition 4. We say that a non-anticipative functional f(t, ω) is differentiable, if the limits f t f ω C(Λ) exist, where f t (t,ω) = lim h,h> f ω (t,ω) = lim h,h> f(t+h,ω t ) f(t,ω), (t,ω) [,T] D[,T] h f(t+h,ω) f(t+h,ω t ), (t,ω) [,T] C 1 [,T]. ω t+h ω t Proposition 3. Let f be differentiable in the sense of definition 4. Then (t,ω) [,T] C 1 [,T] Proof. We have + lim h + f(t,ω) f(,ω) = Hence right derivative of f t (s,ω)ds+ f ω (s,ω)dω s. (57) f(t+h,ω) f(t,ω) lim h,h> h f(t+h,ω) f(t+h,ω t ) = lim ω t+h ω t h + ω t+h ω t h f(t+h,ω t ) f(t,ω) h f(t,ω) f(,ω) = ω (t)f ω (t,ω)+f t (t,ω), (t,ω) [,T] C 1 [,T]. f t (s,ω)ds f ω (s,ω)ω sds is zero for each ω C 1. By the Lemma A2 of appendix formula (57) is satisfied. 2
21 Theorem 3. Let f C(Λ) and f t,f ω C(Λ) are derivatives in the sense of definition 4. Assume also that for any ω V f(s,ω) f(s,ω) <. Then s t f(t,ω) = f(,ω)+ f t (s,ω)ds+ f ω (s,ω)dω c s + s t(f(s,ω) f(s,ω)). Proof. For ω V we have ω = ω c +ω d, ω d = s t ω s, ω c C. Set ω d,n = It is evident that as n s t, ω s > 1 n ω n ω T = ω d ω d,n T = max t ω s, ω n = ω c +ω d,n. 1 ( ωs 1 n ) dω d s T 1 ( ωs 1 n ) dvar s (ω d ). Weknow thatdiscontinuity points of f arealso discontinuity pointsof ω. Let {t 1 <... < t k } = {s : ω s > 1 n } {,T}. Denote by ωε C a differentiable approximation of ω c, such that var T (ω ε ω c ) < ε and let ω n,ε = ω ε +ω d,n. Then by Proposition 3 f(t,ω n,ε ) f(t i,ω n,ε ) t i f t (s,ω n,ε )ds fω n,ε (s,ωn,ε )ω ε s ds =, t [t i,t i+1 ) t i 21
22 and ( f(ti,ω n,ε ) f(t i 1,ω n,ε ) ) = i f(t,ω n,ε ) f(,ω n,ε ) = i 1 = ( f(ti,ω n,ε ) f(t i 1,ω n,ε ) ) + ( f(ti,ω n,ε ) f(t i,ω n,ε ) ) t i 1 f t (s,ω n,ε )ds+ = T f t (s,ω n,ε )ds+ i t i 1 f ω (s,ω n,ε )ω ε s ds+ ( f(ti,ω n,ε ) f(t i,ω n,ε ) ) i = i f t (s,ω n,ε )ds+ f ω (s,ω n,ε )dωs n,ε t i 1 t i 1 f ω (t i,ω n,ε ) ω n,ε t i + ( f(ti,ω n,ε ) f(t i,ω n,ε ) ) = T f s (s,ω n,ε )ds+ T f ω (s,ω n,ε )dω n,ε s + ( f(ti,ω n,ε ) f(t i,ω n,ε ) f ω (t i,ω n,ε ) ω n,ε T t i ) f ω (s,ω n,ε )dω ε s + ( f(ti,ω n,ε ) f(t i,ω n,ε ) ). Since f(t,ω n,ε ) admits finite number of jumps and sup ε var T ω ε <, passing to the limit as ε we get = T f t (s,ω n )ds+ T f(t,ω n ) f(,ω n ) f ω (s,ω n )dω c s + ( f(ti,ω n ) f(t i,ω n ) ). By the continuity of functionals f, f t, f ω and Lemma A1 from the appendix f(t,ω n ) f(t,ω), f t (s,ω n )dω c s f t (s,ω n )ds f t (s,ω)ds, f t (s,ω)dωs c, as n. It remains to show convergence of the sum. Since f d (t,ω) = s tf(s,ω) f(s,ω) is of finite variation f d (t,ω) = ( f(ti,ω n ) f(t i,ω n ) ) ( f(ti,ω) f(t i,ω) ) = = s t(f(s,ω) f(s,ω))1 ( ωs 1 n ) 1 ( ωs 1 n )dfd (s,ω), as n, 22
23 by the dominated convergence theorem. Corollary. If f satisfies conditions of Theorem 3 then f is differentiable in the sense of Definition 1. 4 Appendix The following lemma is a modification of lemma 6 of [12]. Lemma A1. Let X n,x Ω be a sequence of paths, such that X n X T as n. Let f C(Λ). Then sup f(t,x n ) f(t,x) n. t T Proof. If not then ε >, a sequence of integers n k,k = 1,..., and a sequence s k [,T] such that f(s k,x nk ) f(s k,x) ε (58) By moving to a subsequence we can assume without loss of generality that either s k s, s k s or s k s, s k < s for some s [,T]. In the first case by continuity assumption we get f(s k,x nk ) f(s k,x) f(s k,x nk ) f(s,x) + f(s k,x) f(s,x), since d ((s k,x nk ),(s,x)), d ((s k,x),(s,x)). In the second case we have f(s k,x nk ) f(s k,x) f(s k,x nk ) f(s,x s ) + f(s k,x) f(s,x s ), since d ((s k,x nk ),(s,x s )), d ((s k,x),(s,x s )). This contradicts (58). We shall need also the following assertion Lemma A2. Let f be a real-valued, continuous function, defined on an arbitrary interval I of the real line. If f is right (or left) differentiable at every point a I, which is not the supremum (infimum) of the interval, and if this right (left) derivative is always zero, then f is a constant. 23
24 Proof. For a proof by contradiction, assume there exist a < b in I such that f(a) f(b). Then ε := f(b) f(a) 2(b a) >. Define c as the infimum of all those x in the interval (a,b] for which the difference quotient of f exceeds ε in absolute value, i.e. c = inf{x (a,b] f(x) f(a) > ε(x a)}. Due to the continuity of f, it follows that c < b and f(c) f(a) = ε(c a). At c the right derivative of f is zero by assumption, hence there exists d in the interval (c,b] with f(x) f(c) ε(x c) for all x (c,d]. Hence, by the triangle inequality, f(x) f(a) f(x) f(c) + f(c) f(a) ε(x a) for all x in [c,d), which contradicts the definition of c. References [1] H.
