A Functional Ito-Formula for Dawson-Watanabe Superprocesses

Probability 2020-10-07 v1

Abstract

We derive an Ito-formula for the Dawson-Watanabe superprocess, a well-known class of measure-valued processes, extending the classical Ito-formula with respect to two aspects. Firstly, we extend the state-space of the underlying process (X(t))t[0,T](X(t))_{t\in [0,T]} to an infinite-dimensional one - the space of finite measure. Secondly, we extend the formula to functions F(t,Xt)F(t,X_t) depending on the entire paths Xt=(X(st))s[0,T]X_t=(X(s\wedge t))_{s \in [0,T]} up to times tt. This later extension is usually called functional Ito-formula. Finally we remark on the application to predictable representation for martingales associated with superprocesses.
