Malliavin Calculus for Lévy Processes and Infinite-Dimensional B

Malliavin Calculus for Lvy Processes and Infinite-Dimensional Brownian MotionAuthor(s): Horst Osswald\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Cambridge University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Cambridge University Press\nISBN-13: 9781107016149, 978-1107016149\nSynopsis\nAssuming only basic knowledge of probability theory and functional analysis, this book provides a self-contained introduction to Malliavin calculus and infinite-dimensional Brownian motion. In an effort to demystify a subject thought to be difficult, it exploits the framework of nonstandard analysis, which allows infinite-dimensional problems to be treated as finite-dimensional. The result is an intuitive, indeed enjoyable, development of both Malliavin calculus and nonstandard analysis. The main aspects of stochastic analysis and Malliavin calculus are incorporated into this simplifying framework. Topics covered include Brownian motion, OrnsteinUhlenbeck processes both with values in abstract Wiener spaces, Lvy processes, mu.
