Let $(B_t)_{t\in[0,\infty)}$ be a Brownian motion on a probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P)$. Our concern is whether and how a noncausal type stochastic differential $dX_t=a(t,\omega)\,dB_t+b(t,\omega)\,dt$ is identified from its…

We develop a nonanticipative calculus for functionals of a continuous semimartingale, using an extension of the Ito formula to path-dependent functionals which possess certain directional derivatives. The construction is based on a pathwise…
A simple nonlinear integral equation for Ito's map is obtained. Although, it does not include stochastic integrals, it does give causal construction of diffusion processes which can be easily implemented by iteration systems. Applications…
Using the white noise space setting, we define and study stochastic integrals with respect to a class of stationary increment Gaussian processes. We focus mainly on continuous functions with values in the Kondratiev space of stochastic…
We describe stochastic calculus in the context of processes that are driven by an adapted point process of locally finite intensity and are differentiable between jumps. This includes Markov chains as well as non-Markov processes. By…
We define a fractional Ito stochastic integral with respect to a randomly scaled fractional Brownian motion via an $S$-transform approach. We investigate the properties of this stochastic integral, prove the Ito formula for functions of…
This primer explains how continuous-time stochastic processes (precisely, Brownian motion and other Ito diffusions) can be defined and studied on manifolds. No knowledge is assumed of either differential geometry or continuous-time…
In this note, we discuss the uniform ergodicity of a diffusion process given by an It\^o stochastic differential equation. We present an integral condition in terms of the drift and diffusion coefficients that ensures the uniform ergodicity…
Using results from our companion article [arXiv:1112.4824v2] on a Schauder approach to existence of solutions to a degenerate-parabolic partial differential equation, we solve three intertwined problems, motivated by probability theory and…
This paper provides an existence-and-uniqueness theorem characterizing the stochastic integral with respect to a Wiener process. The integral is represented as a mapping from the space of measurable and adapted pathwise locally integrable…
A stochastic calculus is given for processes described by stochastic integrals with respect to fractional Brownian motions and Rosenblatt processes somewhat analogous to the stochastic calculus for It\^{o} processes. These processes for…
We consider a Markov process $X$ associated to a nonnecessarily symmetric Dirichlet form $\mathcal{E}$. We define a stochastic integral with respect to a class of additive functionals of zero quadratic variation and then we obtain an…
We derive a functional change of variable formula for {\it non-anticipative} functionals defined on the space of right continuous paths with left limits. The functional is only required to possess certain directional derivatives, which may…
For stochastic systems driven by continuous semimartingales an explicit formula for the logarithm of the Ito flow map is given. A similar formula is also obtained for solutions of linear matrix-valued SDEs driven by arbitrary…
Stochastic quantization in physics has been considered to provide a path integral representation of a probability distribution for Ito processes. It has been indicated that the stochastic quantization can involve a potential term, if the…
Since the seminal work of Wiener, the chaos expansion has evolved to a powerful methodology for studying a broad range of stochastic differential equations. Yet its complexity for systems subject to the white noise remains significant. The…
We study triangulation schemes for the joint kernel of a diffusion process with uniformly continuous coefficients and an adapted, non-resonant Abelian process. The prototypical example of Abelian process to which our methods apply is given…
A peculiar feature of It\^o's calculus is that it is an integral calculus that gives no explicit derivative with a systematic differentiation theory counterpart, as in elementary calculus. So, can we define a pathwise stochastic derivative…
