Set-Indexed Itô Calculus Along Paths

From MaRDI portal





The paper presents a thorough study of set-indexed Gaussian processes. The main purpose is to develop an Itô calculus for such processes, and to study the associated martingale properties. The parameter of these processes belongs to an indexing collection of subsets of a topological space. In order to reduce the dimension, a new tool, called the main flow, is introduced. This allows for the embedding of standard one-parameter processes in the set-indexed processes, and hence for the development of a stochastic calculus. An Itô formula is provided, and the interplay with martingales is described in detail. The martingales thus generated take a surprising form. Finally the authors introduce the bracket and a local time for the developed stochastic calculus. The paper discusses many measurability properties of the indexing collection of subsets. Furthermore, a construction of a set-indexed Brownian process is also provided. This makes the paper rather self-contained.
