Stochastic Integration I
Let (,F,P) be given.
Recall that ifX = {Xn} is a sequence of random variables, andC= {Cn} is a previsible process, then the martingale transform ofXbyC, denoted by C X, is such that
(C X)n =n1k=0
Ck+1(Xk+1 Xk)
The process{Cn}can be viewed as a gambling strategy, where Cnrepresents the stake at game n, and Xn+1 Xn represents netwinnings per unit stake at game n. Hence (C X)n represents totalwinnings up to time n.

Applied to mathematical finance, ifC = {Cn} is a self-financingtrading strategy, and Xn represents the price of the asset at time n
(in general, Xn is a vector of prices), then (C X)n represents thetotal change in the value of the portfolio up to time n.

We will carry the notion of martingale transform from discrete-timeinto continuous-time, which deals with the stochastic integral
CtdXt. However, asset prices are typically functions of one orseveral Brownian motions, which brings our focus to
f(t)dWt
where{Wt} is a Wiener process. The main goal of this section is todefine this integral.

Stochastic Integration I
The first thing to note is that stochastic integrals with respect toBrownian motion, if they exist, must be quite different from theclassical measure-theoretic integrals. This is because for almost everyWiener trajectory, it has infinite variation on any interval, and henceis not differentiable at any point.
Recall that ifg(t) is continuously differentiable and f R(g) i.e. fis Riemann-Stieltjes integrable with respect to gon [0,T], then wecan define
T
0
f(t)dg(t) := T
0
f(t)g(t)dt
where the right hand side is an ordinary Riemann integral with respectto time. This, however, will not work for the Brownian motion.

Stochastic Integration I
Stochastic integration was introduced by Kiyoshi Ito in 1944, whodevised a way around the non-differentiability of the Brownian paths.He used a mix of ideas from the construction of integrals in theRiemann, Lebesgue settings.
The method involves defining the integral first for a simple class offunctions. Then show for every f in a class of integrands can beapproximated (in a sense to be defined) by simple processes s and
use this to define T
0 ftdWtas the limit of
T
0 tdWt.

IntegrandFor the above integral to make sense, the integrand f must meetsome basic measurability, adaptivity, and integrability conditions.
Let T 0,Bdenote the Borel -field on [0,+),{Ft}0tTbe thenatural Brownian filtration, i.e.,Ft= (Ws : 0 s t). Thefollowing describes the class of functions for which the integral will bedefined.

We can think of the relationship between the simple processt=
n1i=0 ai1[ti,ti+1)(t) and the Brownian motion Wt in the following
manner:
Regard Wtas the price per share of a stock at time t(We willreplace Wtby the more appropriate geometric Brownian motionlater). Think oft0, t1, ..., tn1 as the trading dates in the market, and
a0, a1, ..., an1 as the position taken in the stock at each trading dateand held to the next trading date. The gain from trading at time t,where tk

Ito Integral for General Integrands
In this section, we define the stochastic integral T0 f

f HT, where is no longer assumed to be a simple process.
In order to defineT
0 ftdWt, we approximate fby simple processes.
In general, it is natural to approximate f byi
fti
1[ti,ti+1)(t)
where ti
[ti, ti+1). Afterwards, we define T0 ftdWtas the limitof

However, unlike the Riemann-Stieltjes integral, the choice ofti
makes a difference. The following two choices have turned out to bethe most useful ones:
(1) ti =ti(the left endpoint of [ti, ti+1)). This leads to the Ito
integral, denoted byT
0 ftdWt.
(2) ti = 12(ti+ti+1) (the midpoint). This leads to the Stratonovich
integral, denoted by
T
0 ft dWt.
