Ito Representation for Integral of Brownian Motion

706 Views Asked by At

By Ito's representation theorem because the integral of Brownian Motion is mean zero we should have some random function $\phi$ such that

$$\int_0^T W_t dt = \int_0^T\phi(\omega,t)dW_t$$

I'm a little uncomfortable about the left hand side being finite variation and the right a local martingale even for fixed $T$, I just can't get any closer to the form above than the obvious Ito formula result

$$\int_0^T W_t dt = TW_T-\int_0^TtdW_t$$

Thanks

The identity

$$\int_0^T W_t \, dt = T W_T - \int_0^T t \, dW_t$$

is a good start. Now note that

$$T W_T = \int_0^T T \, dW_t$$

which implies that

$$\int_0^T W_t \, dt = \int_0^T (T-t) \, dW_t.$$

This is exactly the representation you are looking for.
