Abstract

In this pedagogical note, we construct the semi-group associated to a stochastic differential equation with a constant diffusion and a Lipschitz drift by composing over small times the semi-groups generated respectively by the Brownian motion and the drift part. Similarly to the interpretation of the Feynman-Kac formula through the Trotter-Kato-Lie formula in which the exponential term appears naturally, we construct by doing so an approximation of the exponential weight of the Girsanov theorem. As this approach only relies on the basic properties of the Gaussian distribution, it provides an alternative explanation of the form of the Girsanov weights without referring to a change of measure nor on stochastic calculus.

Fußnoten
1
In the original paper [9], the result is stated for 2−1∕2W and 21∕2b.
 
2
The norm of a matrix is \(\|a\|=\left (\sum _{i,j=1}^n |a_{i,j}^2|\right )^{1/2}\) while the norm of a vector is \(\|a\|=\left (\sum _{i=1}^n |a_i|{ }^2\right )^{1/2}\).
 
3
In the domain of SDE, among others, the Ninomiya-Victoir scheme [41] relies on an astute way to compose the operators.
 
4
In [31], R. Léandre gives an interpretation of the Girsanov formula and Malliavin calculus in terms of manipulation on semi-groups.
 
5
This is one of the central ideas of Malliavin calculus to express the expectation involving the derivative of a function as the expectation involving the function multiplied by a weight.
 
6
This is, X t(ω) = ω(t) when the probability space Ω is \(\mathrm {C}(\mathbb {R}_+,\mathbb {R})\).
 
7
These semi-groups are actually time-homogeneous. We however found it more convenient to keep the time dependence for our purpose.
 
8
These semi-groups satisfies the far more finer properties of being Feller, as for (X t)t≥0, but we do not use it here.
 
9
This condition is stronger than the one given in the original article of M. Kac on that subject.
