14 Stochastic integral: extended definition Proposition 7. Let: u L 2 a (u n ) n sequence of simple processes such that lim n u u n L 2 a = Then for s < t: The sequence (J st (u n dw )) n converges in L 2 (Ω) Its limit does not depend on the sequence (u n ) n Samy T. Itô s formula Probability Theory 14 / 41

15 Proof Cauchy sequence u n : We know that: u n u m L 2 a = s E [ (u n w u m w ) 2] dw n. Cauchy sequence J st (u n ): According to property: we have E [ (J st ((u n u m ) dw ) 2] = is a Cauchy sequence in L 2 (Ω). (Z n ) n (J st (u n )) n s E [ (u n w u m w ) 2] dw Samy T.

Itô s formula Probability Theory 23 / 41

24 Itô s formula for physicists Simplification: We consider f : R R only. Intuition: Taylor expansion of f (W ) up to o(t). dw t can be identified with dt. Heuristic computation: We get df (W t ) = f (W t ) dw t f (W t ) (dw t ) 2 + o ( (dw t ) 2) = f (W t ) dw t f (W t ) dt + o(dt). Itô s formula is then obtained by integration. Samy T. Itô s formula Probability Theory 24 / 41

25 Proof in the real case Simplification: We consider f : R R only Generic partition: We consider π = {t,..., t n } with = t < < t n = t π = max{ t j+1 t j ; j n 1} Taylor s formula: we have δf (W ) t = = n 1 j= n 1 j= δf (W ) tj t j+1 f (W tj ) δw tj t j f (ξ j ) ( δw tj t j+1 ) 2, where ξ j [W tj, W tj+1 ]. Samy T. Itô s formula Probability Theory 25 / 41

26 Proof in the real case (2) Notation: We set n 1 Jt 1,π n 1 = f (W tj ) δw tj t j+1, Jt 2,π = f (ξ j ) ( ) 2 δw tj t j+1 j= j= Aim: Find a sequence (π m ) m 1 such that a.s lim m π m = lim m Jt 1,m lim m J 2,m t = f (W s ) dw s with Jt 1,m = Jt 1,πm = f (W s ) ds with Jt 2,m = J 2,πm t Samy T. Itô s formula Probability Theory 26 / 41

27 Proof in the real case (3) Analysis of the term Jt 1,m : we have Jt 1,m = us m dw s, with u m u tj 1 [tj,t j+1 ) t j π m Since u f (W ) L 2 a, continuous and bounded according to Proposition 6 we get: L 2 (Ω) lim J 1,m m t = f (W s ) dw s a.s convergence: For a subsequence π m π mk we have a.s lim J 1,m m t = f (W s ) dw s. Samy T. Itô s formula Probability Theory 27 / 41

28 Proof in the real case (4) Analysis of the term Jt 2,m, strategy: We set n 1 Jt 3,π = f (W tj ) ( ) n 1 2 δw tj t j+1, J 4,π t = f (W tj ) (t j+1 t j ) j= We will show that a.s, for a subsequence π m with π m : This will end the proof. j= lim J 2,πm m t Jt 3,πm = (1) lim J 3,πm m t Jt 4,πm = (2) lim m J t 4,πm f (W s ) ds = (3) Samy T. Itô s formula Probability Theory 28 / 41

29 Proof in the real case (5) Recall: we have n 1 Jt 4,πm = f (W tj ) (t j+1 t j ) j= Thus J 4,πm t Riemann sum for f (W ) Proof relation (3): Since s f (W s ) continuous, we have lim J 4,πm m t = f (W s ) ds. Samy T. Itô s formula Probability Theory 29 / 41

30 Proof in the real case (6) Proof relation (1): we have J 3,π t J 2,π t = n 1 j= ( f (W tj ) f (ξ j ) ) ( δw tj t j+1) 2 Additional Hyp. for sake of simplicity: f C 3 b. Then for < γ < 1 2 we have: ξ j [W tj, W tj+1 ] δw tj t j+1 c W,γ t j+1 t j γ f (W tj ) f (ξ j ) c W,γ,f π m γ Thus applying Theorem 27, Brownian Chapter: n 1 Jt 3,πm Jt 2,πm c W,γ π m γ ( 2 δwtj t j+1) j= c W,γ π m γ V 2,t(W ) = c W,γ t π m γ m Samy T. Itô s formula Probability Theory 3 / 41

31 Proof in the real case (7) Notation: We set δt j (t j+1 t j ), Z j ( δw tj t j+1 ) 2 δtj Proof relation (2), strategy: we have J 4,πm t We proceed as follows: 1 We show lim m E[ J 4,πm t n 1 Jt 3,πm = j= f (W tj ) Z j. J 3,πm t 2 ] =. 2 For a subsequence π m π mk we deduce: a.s lim J 4,πm m t J 3,πm t =. Samy T. Itô s formula Probability Theory 31 / 41

32 Proof in the real case (8) Decomposition of J 4,πm t we have J 4,πm t with J 3,πm t K m,1 t = K m,2 E [ J 4,π m t t = 2 Jt 3,πm : = n 1 j= f (W tj ) Z j. Thus: n 1 j= J 3,πm t 2] = Kt m,1 + Kt m,2 [ (f ) ] E 2 (W tj) Z j j<k n 1 E [ f (W tj ) Z j f (W tk ) Z k ] Lemma: Let X N (, σ 2 ). Then: [ (X E 2 σ 2) 2 ] = 2σ 4 Samy T. Itô s formula Probability Theory 32 / 41

33 Proof in the real case (9) Convergence of K m,1 t : We have δw tj t j+1 N (, δt j ) and δw tj t j+1 F tj. Therefore: K m,1 t = = n 1 j= n 1 j= [ (f ) ] E 2 (W tj) Z j E n 1 = 2 j= c f π m [ (f (W ) 2 ] tj) E [ ] Zj 2 [ (f E (W ) 2 ] tj) (δt j ) 2 n 1 j= δt j = c f t π m m. Samy T. Itô s formula Probability Theory 33 / 41

34 Proof in the real case (1) Proof relation (2): we have seen lim K m,1 m t =. In the same way, one can check that: Thus: K m,2 t =. 4,πm lim E[ J m t Jt 3,πm 2 ] =. This finishes the proof of (2) and of Itô s formula. Samy T. Itô s formula Probability Theory 34 / 41

Let: X : [, τ] R n process of L 2 a a R n initial condition {b j ; j = 1,..., n} real bounded and adapted process {σ jk ; j = 1,..., n, k = 1,... d} process of L 2 a We say that X is an Itô process if it can be decomposed as: for j = 1,..., n. X j t = a j + b j s ds + σ jk s dw k s, Remark: An Itô process is a particular case of semi-martingale. Samy T. Itô s formula Probability Theory 36 / 41

37 Itô s formula for Itô processes Theorem 15. Let: X Itô process, defined by a, b, σ. f C 1,2 b,τ. Then f (t, X t ) can be decomposed as: f (t, X t ) = n f (, a) + r f (r, X r ) dr + xj f (r, X r ) br j dr j=1 n d + xj f (r, X r ) σr jk dwr k j=1 k=1 + 1 n d x 2 2 j1 x j2 f (r, X r ) σ j 1k r σ j 2k r dr. j 1,j 2 =1 k=1 Samy T.

38 Infinitesimal generator of Brownian motion Proposition 16. Let: Then: W a F s -Wiener process in R d. s R +. f C 2 b. E [δf (W ) s,s+h F s ] lim h h = 1 2 f (W s). Samy T. Itô s formula Probability Theory 38 / 41

39 Proof Recasting Itô s formula: Let M t d j=1 Then Itô s formula can be written as: δf (W ) st = δm st xj f (W r ) dw j r. s f (W r ) dr. Conditional expectation: According to Proposition 9, M is a martingale. Thus: E [δf (W ) s,s+h F s ] = 1 2 s+h s E [ f (W r ) F s ] dr. Samy T. Itô s formula Probability Theory 39 / 41

40 Proof (2) Limiting procedure: Applying dominated convergence for conditional expectation we get: r E [ f (W r ) F s ] continuous. Thus: lim h and 1 2h s+h s E [ f (W r ) F s ] dr = 1 2 E [ f (W s) F s ] = 1 2 f (W s), E [δf (W ) s,s+h F s ] lim h h = 1 2 f (W s). Samy T. Itô s formula Probability Theory 4 / 41
