General strategy

1

In order to reach the general case, we shall go through the following steps:

◮ Itô integral for usual Brownian motion ◮ Young integral (2 versions) for H > 1/2 ◮ Case 1/3 < H < 1/2, with a semi-pathwise method 2

For each case, 2 main steps:

◮ Definition of a stochastic integral

usdBs

for a reasonable class of processes u

◮ Resolution of the equation by means of a fixed point method Samy T. (Nancy) Rough Paths 1 KU 2013 19 / 44

Notation: If f : [0, T] → Rd is a function, we shall denote: δfst = ft − fs, and f µ = sup

s,t∈[0,T]

|δfst| |t − s|µ Let X = {Xt; t ∈ [0, T]} be a process defined on (Ω, F, P), such that E [|δXst|α] ≤ c|t − s|1+β, for s, t ∈ [0, T], c, α, β > 0 Then there exists a modification ˆ X of X such that almost surely ˆ X ∈ Cγ

1 for any γ < β/α, i.e P(ω; ˆ

X(ω)γ < ∞) = 1. Theorem 2.

Brownian pathwise regularity

The Brownian motion B is γ-Hölder continuous for any γ < 1/2, up to modification. Proposition 3. Proof: We have δBst ∼ N(0, t − s). Hence, for n ≥ 1, E

  • |δBst|2n

= cn|t − s|n i.e E

  • |δBst|2n

= cn|t − s|1+(n−1) Kolmogorov: B is γ-Hölder for γ < (n − 1)/2n = 1/2 − 1/(2n). Taking limits n → ∞, the proof is finished.
