The first one is to give a new condition for the existence of two-parameter $p, q$-variation path integrals. Our condition of locally bounded $p,q$-variation is more natural and easy to verify than those of Young. This result can be easily generalized to multi-parameter case. The second result is to define the integral of local time $\\int_{-\\infty}^\\infty\\int_0^t g(s,x)d_{s,x}L_s(x)$ pathwise and then give generalized It$\\hat {\\rm o}$'s formula when $\\nabla^-f(s,x)$ is only of bounded $p,q$-variation in $(s,x)$. In the case that $g(s,x)=\\nabla^-f(s,x)$ is of locally bounded variation in $(s,x)$, the integral $\\int_{-\\infty}^\\infty\\int_0^t \\nabla^-f(s,x)d_{s,x}L_s(x)$ is the Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral and was used in Elworthy, Truman and Zhao \\cite{Zhao}. When $g(s,x)=\\nabla^-f(s,x)$ is of only locally $p, q$-variation, where $p\\geq 1$,$q\\geq 1$, and $2q+1>2pq$, the integral is a two-parameter Young integral of $p,q$-variation rather than a Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral. In the special case that $f(s,x)=f(x)$ is independent of $s$, we give a new condition for Meyer's formula and $\\int_{-\\infty}^\\infty L_t(x)d_x\\nabla^-f(x)$ is defined pathwise as a Young integral. For this we prove the local time $L_t(x)$ is of $p$-variation in $x$ for each $t\\geq 0$, for each $p>2$ almost surely ($p$-variation in the sense of Lyons and Young, i.e. $\\sup\\limits_{E: \\ a finite partition of [-N,N]} \\sum\\limits_{i=1}^m|L_t(x_i)-L_t(x_{i-1})|^p<\\infty$).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-08-03T12:15:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "local time", "integrations", "lebesgue-stieltjes integral", "two-parameter young integral", "variation path integrals" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......9422F" } } }
