AN EVALUATION FORMULA FOR A GENERALIZED CONDITIONAL EXPECTATION WITH TRANSLATION THEOREMS OVER PATHS

Let C[0, T] denote an analogue of Wiener space, the space of real-valued continuous functions on the interval [0, T]. For a partition 0 = t₀ < t₁ < ⋯ < t_n < t_n+1 = T of [0, T], define X_n : C[0, T] → ℝⁿ⁺¹ by X_n(x) = (x(t₀), x(t₁), …, x(t_n)). In this paper we derive a simple evaluation formula for Radon-Nikodym derivatives similar to the conditional expectations of functions on C[0, T] with the conditioning function X_n which has a drift and does not contain the present position of paths. As applications of the formula with X_n, we evaluate the Radon-Nikodym derivatives of the functions ∫₀^T[x(t)]^mdλ(t)(m∈ℕ) and [∫₀^Tx(t)dλ(t)]² on C[0, T], where λ is a complex-valued Borel measure on [0, T]. Finally we derive two translation theorems for the Radon-Nikodym derivatives of the functions on C[0, T].
