In this work, we establish pathwise functional It\^o formulas for non-smooth functionals of real-valued continuous semimartingales. Under finite $(p,q)$-variation regularity assumptions in the sense of two-dimensional Young integration…

We derive It\^o-type change of variable formulas for smooth functionals of irregular paths with non-zero $p-$th variation along a sequence of partitions where $p \geq 1$ is arbitrary, in terms of fractional derivative operators, extending…

Building on the functional-analytic framework of operator-valued kernels and un-truncated signature kernels, we propose a scalable, provably convergent signature-based algorithm for a broad class of high-dimensional, path-dependent hedging…

We establish fundamental mathematical limits on universal approximation theorem (UAT) system alignment by proving that catastrophic failures are an inescapable feature of any useful computational system. Our central thesis is that for any…

The universal approximation theorem is generalised to uniform convergence on the (noncompact) input space $\mathbb{R}^n$. All continuous functions that vanish at infinity can be uniformly approximated by neural networks with one hidden…

We prove simultaneous Universal Approximation of a certain type of Pade Approximants and of Taylor series with the same indexes. This is a generic phenomenon in the space of holomorphic functions in any simply connected domain, as well as…

We construct rich vector spaces of continuous functions with prescribed curved or linear pathwise quadratic variations. We also construct a class of functions whose quadratic variation may depend in a local and nonlinear way on the function…

We prove a representation for the support of McKean Vlasov Equations. To do so, we construct functional quantizations for the law of Brownian motion as a measure over the (non-reflexive) Banach space of H\"older continuous paths. By solving…

We introduce the class of "smooth rough paths" and study their main properties. Working in a smooth setting allows us to discard sewing arguments and focus on algebraic and geometric aspects. Specifically, a Maurer-Cartan perspective is the…

Motivated by questions arising in financial mathematics, Dupire introduced a notion of smoothness for functionals of paths (different from the usual Fr\'echet--Gat\'eaux derivatives) and arrived at a generalization of It\=o's formula…

Let $U\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ be open and convex. We prove that every (not necessarily Lipschitz or strongly) convex function $f:U\to\mathbb{R}$ can be approximated by real analytic convex functions, uniformly on all of $U$. We also show…

In the spirit of Marcus canonical stochastic differential equations, we study a similar notion of rough differential equations (RDEs), notably dropping the assumption of continuity prevalent in the rough path literature. A new metric is…

We introduce a crossed module of piecewise linear surfaces and study the signature homomorphism, defined as the surface holonomy of a universal translation invariant $2$-connection. This provides a transform whereby surfaces are represented…

This paper establishes a comprehensive theory of geometric rough paths for mixed fractional Brownian motion (MFBM) and its generalized multi-component extensions. We prove that for a generalized MFBM of the form $M_t^H(a) = \sum_{k=1}^N a_k…

This paper provides convergence analysis for the approximation of a class of path-dependent functionals underlying a continuous stochastic process. In the first part, given a sequence of weak convergent processes, we provide a sufficient…

A common approach for describing classes of functions and probability measures on a topological space $\mathcal{X}$ is to construct a suitable map $\Phi$ from $\mathcal{X}$ into a vector space, where linear methods can be applied to address…

In this short note we prove that, if (C[a,b],{A_n}) is an approximation scheme and (A_n) satisfies de La Vall\'ee-Poussin Theorem, there are instances of continuous functions on [a,b], real analytic on (a,b], which are poorly approximable…

In this paper we establish a Taylor-like expansion in the context of the rough path theory for a family of It ^{o} maps indexed by a small parameter. We treat not only the case that the roughness $p$ satisfies $[p]=2$, but also the case…

In the context of controlled differential equations, the signature is the exponential function on paths. B. Hambly and T. Lyons proved that the signature of a bounded variation path is trivial if and only if the path is tree-like. We extend…

Based on an extension of the martingale comparison method some comparison results for path-dependent functions of semimartingales are established. The proof makes essential use of the functional It\^o calculus. A main tool is an extension…
