Integral representation of random variables with respect to Gaussian processes

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: It was shown in Mishura et al. (Stochastic Process. Appl. 123 (2013) 2353-2369), that any random variable can be represented as improper pathwise integral with respect to fractional Brownian motion. In this paper, we extend this result to cover a wide class of Gaussian processes. In particular, we consider a wide class of processes that are H"{o}lder continuous of order alpha>1/2 and show that only local properties of the covariance function play role for such results.


In the present paper, the author deals with integral representation theorems. More precisely, let \((\Omega, \mathcal{F}, \mathbb{P})\) be a complete probability space with left-continuous filtration \(\mathbb{F} = \{ \mathcal{F}_t \}_{t \in [0,T]}\). Furthermore, let \(\alpha \in (\frac{1}{2},1)\) be arbitrary, and let \(\mathcal{X}_T^{\alpha}\) be the class of Gaussian processes introduced in the paper (Definition 2.2). This class covers Gaussian processes with stationary increments as well as stationary Gaussian processes. Let \(X \in \mathcal{X}_T^{\alpha}\) be arbitrary. Under an additional condition on \(X\) (Assumption 2.6), the author shows in Theorem 3.7 that for every \(\mathcal{F}_T\)-measurable random variable \(\xi\) there exists an \(\mathbb{F}\)-adapted process \(\Psi_T\) such that NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \lim_{s \to T-} \int_0^s \Psi_T(s) \text{d} X_s = \xi \quad \text{\(\mathbb{P}\)-almost surely.} NEWLINE\]NEWLINE If, in addition, there exists a Hölder continuous process \(Z\) of order \(a > 1 - \alpha\) such that \(Z_T = \xi\), then the author shows in Theorem 3.11 that there even exists an \(\mathbb{F}\)-adapted process \(\Psi_T\) such that NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \int_0^T \Psi_T(s) \text{d} X_s = \xi \quad \text{\(\mathbb{P}\)-almost surely.} NEWLINE\]NEWLINE This extends results of \textit{Y. Mishura} et al. [Stochastic Processes Appl. 123, No. 6, 2353--2369 (2013; Zbl 1328.60131)], where a fractional Brownian as integrator \(X\) has been considered.NEWLINENEWLINEThe author discusses financial applications, the uniqueness of the integrand \(\Psi_T\) and the problem of zero integral, which refers to the question whether NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \int_0^T u_s \text{d} X_s = 0 \quad \text{\(\mathbb{P}\)-almost surely} NEWLINE\]NEWLINE implies NEWLINE\[NEWLINE u = 0 \quad \mathbb{P} \otimes \text{Leb}\big( [0,T] \big) \text{-almost everywhere.} NEWLINE\]
