Fubini's Theorem on Ito's integral?

1.1k Views Asked by At

It is well known that Fubini's Theorem allows us to swap two interated integrals. In stochastic calculus, Fubini's Theorem (under certain conditions) ensures that $$\mathbb{E}\int_0^t g(W_s) ds = \int_0^t \mathbb{E}g(W_s) ds$$ for some function $g$ and $W_s$ is a Brownian motion.

Is it possible to apply Fubini's Theorem to Ito's integral? More precisely,

Do we have $$\mathbb{E}\int_0^t g(W_s) dW_s = \int_0^t\mathbb{E} g(W_s) dW_s?$$

I will mention a Fubini-type theorem for double integrals involving a stochastic integral and a Lebesgue integral. But keep in mind that there are results for double stochastic integrals as well.

Let $g: X\times[0,\infty)\times\Omega \mapsto \mathbb{R}$ be a parametrized stochastic process with the parameter taking values in $X$ and $\mu$ be a $\sigma$-finite measure on a $\sigma$-algebra defined on this space. $g$ satisfies certain measurability properties on the triple product $\sigma$-algebra, which I won't get into as this is a very technical area.

Suppose that $$\int_X\left(\int_0^t \lvert g(x, s, \omega)\rvert^2ds\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}d\mu(x) < \infty$$ Then, $$\int_X\int_0^t g(x, s)dW_sd\mu(x) = \int_0^t \int_Xg(x, s)d\mu(x)dW_s$$

The example you gave does not fit into this framework as the outer integral on the left hand side is on $\Omega$, not a separate parameter space. You cannot treat it as a parameter space as it is coupled to the inner integral. I don't see how you can exchange two integrals that take place on the same domain in different ways. Well, technically the stochastic integral is on $[0,t]$ but it is defined using convergence in $\Omega$.
