Introduction to stochastic integration

A highly readable introduction to stochastic integration and stochastic differential equations, this book combines developments of the basic theory with applications. It is written in a style suitable for the text of a graduate course in stochastic calculus, following a course in probability. Using the modern approach, the stochastic integral is defined for predictable integrands and local martingales; then Its change of variable formula is developed for continuous martingales. Applications include a characterization of Brownian motion, Hermite polynomials of martingales, the Feynman-Kac functional and Schrdinger equation. For Brownian motion, the topics of local time, reflected Brownian motion, and time change are discussed. New to the second edition are a discussion of the Cameron-Martin-Girsanov transformation and a final chapter which provides an introduction to stochastic differential equations, as well as many exercises for classroom use. This book will be a valuable resource to all mathematicians, statisticians, economists, and engineers employing the modern tools of stochastic analysis. The text also proves that stochastic integration has made an important impact on mathematical progress over the last decades and that stochastic calculus has become one of the most powerful tools in modern probability theory. Journal of the American Statistical Association An attractive textwritten in [a] lean and precise styleeminently readable. Especially pleasant are the care and attention devoted to details A very fine book. Mathematical Reviews.

  • "The contents of this monograph approximate the lectures I gave In a graduate course at Stanford University in the first half of 1981. But the material has been thoroughly reorganized and rewritten. The purpose is to present a modern version of the theory of stochastic in tegration, comprising but going beyond the classical theory, yet stopping short of the latest discontinuous (and to some distracting) ramifications. Roundly speaking, integration with respect to a local martingale with continuous paths is the primary object of study here. We have decided to include some results requiring only right continuity of paths, in order to illustrate the general methodology. But it is possible for the reader to skip these extensions without feeling lost in a wilderness of generalities. Basic probability theory inclusive of martingales is reviewed in Chapter 1. A suitably prepared reader should begin with Chapter 2 and consult Chapter 1 only when needed. Occasionally theorems are stated without proof but the treatmcnt is aimed at self-containment modulo the in evitable prerequisites. With considerable regret I have decided to omit a discussion of stochastic differential equations. Instead, some other ap plications of the stochastic calculus are given; in particular Brownian local time is treated in dctail to fill an unapparent gap in the literature. x I PREFACE The applications to storage theory discussed in Section 8. 4 are based on lectures given by J. Michael Harrison in my class."@en
