In other terms, we consider a perturbation of $X$ of the form $X^\\epsilon = X+\\epsilon h$ with $h$ smooth deterministic function and $\\epsilon>0$ and we differentiate the law of $X^\\epsilon$ at $\\epsilon=0$. This infinitesimal perturbation changes drastically the set of zeros of $X$ for any $\\epsilon>0$. As a consequence, the formula we obtain contains an infinite dimensional generalized functional in the sense of Schwartz, defined in terms of Hida's renormalization of the squared derivative of $B$ and in terms of the local time of $X$ at 0. We also compute the divergence on the Wiener space of a class of vector fields not taking values in the Cameron-Martin space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-04-27T14:40:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60H07", "60J65", "60H40" ], "keywords": [ "reflecting brownian motion", "integration", "standard brownian motion", "smooth deterministic function", "infinite dimensional generalized functional" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math......4489Z" } } }
