Abstract: We prove an extension of the Ocone-Karatzas integral representation, valid for all BV functions on the classical Wiener space. We establish also an elementary chain rule formula and combine the two results to compute explicit integral representations for some classes of BV composite random variables.


The aim of this article is to slightly extend the Clark-Ocone (or Ocone-Karatzas) formula, very classical in Malliavin calculus, to functions which need not be smooth in the Malliavin sense (more precisely, in \(\mathbb{D}^{1,1}\)). Thus the authors consider so-called ``functions of bounded variation on the Wiener space, namely those functions \(f\) that admit an \(L^2[0,T)\)-valued measure, still denoted by \(Df\), such that the formal integration by parts formula still holds. Such functions are also characterized as the \(L^1\)-limits of sequences which are bounded in \(\mathbb{D}^{1,1}\).NEWLINENEWLINE After the proof of the extended Clark-Ocone-Karatzas formula, the authors provide a chain rule formula and two examples of explicit representation of the density of \(Df\).
