Rao" ], "categories": [ "math.PR" ], "abstract": "In the definition of the stochastic integral, apart from the integrand and the integrator, there is an underlying filtration that plays a role. Thus, it is natural to ask: {\\it Does the stochastic integral depend upon the filtration?} In other words, if we have two filtrations, $({\\mathcal F}_\\centerdot)$ and $({\\mathcal G}_\\centerdot)$, a process $X$ that is semimartingale under both the filtrations and a process $f$ that is predictable for both the filtrations, then are the two stochastic integrals - $Y=\\int f\\,dX$, with filtration $({\\mathcal F}_\\centerdot)$ and $Z=\\int f\\,dX$, with filtration $({\\mathcal G}_\\centerdot)$ the same? When $f$ is left continuous with right limits, then the answer is yes. When one filtration is an enlargement of the other, the two integrals are equal if $f$ is bounded but this may not be the case when $f$ is unbounded. We discuss this and give sufficient conditions under which the two integrals are equal.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-09-25T03:44:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "stochastic integral", "filtration", "sufficient conditions", "right limits", "integrator" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
