  2. Quadratic variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_variation

    The quadratic variation exists for all continuous finite variation processes, and is zero. This statement can be generalized to non-continuous processes. Any càdlàg finite variation process X {\displaystyle X} has quadratic variation equal to the sum of the squares of the jumps of X {\displaystyle X} .

  3. Function of several real variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_of_several_real...

    The image of a function f(x 1, x 2, …, x n) is the set of all values of f when the n-tuple (x 1, x 2, …, x n) runs in the whole domain of f.For a continuous (see below for a definition) real-valued function which has a connected domain, the image is either an interval or a single value.

  4. Semimartingale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semimartingale

    An adapted continuous process is a quadratic pure-jump semimartingale if and only if it is of finite variation. For every semimartingale X there is a unique continuous local martingale X c {\displaystyle X^{c}} starting at zero such that X − X c {\displaystyle X-X^{c}} is a quadratic pure-jump semimartingale ( He, Wang & Yan 1992 , p. 209 ...

  5. Calculus of variations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_of_Variations

    The calculus of variations began with the work of Isaac Newton, such as with Newton's minimal resistance problem, which he formulated and solved in 1685, and later published in his Principia in 1687, [2] which was the first problem in the field to be formulated and correctly solved, [2] and was also one of the most difficult problems tackled by variational methods prior to the twentieth century.

  6. Wiener process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiener_process

    A single realization of a one-dimensional Wiener process A single realization of a three-dimensional Wiener process. In mathematics, the Wiener process (or Brownian motion, due to its historical connection with the physical process of the same name) is a real-valued continuous-time stochastic process discovered by Norbert Wiener.

  7. Quadratic growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_growth

    In mathematics, a function or sequence is said to exhibit quadratic growth when its values are proportional to the square of the function argument or sequence position. "Quadratic growth" often means more generally "quadratic growth in the limit ", as the argument or sequence position goes to infinity – in big Theta notation , f ( x ) = Θ ...

  8. p-variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-variation

    Quadratic variation is defined as a limit as the partition gets finer, whereas p-variation is a supremum over all partitions. Thus the quadratic variation of a process could be smaller than its 2-variation. If W t is a standard Brownian motion on [0, T], then with probability one its p-variation is infinite for and finite otherwise. The ...

  9. Local time (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_time_(mathematics)

    where is the Dirac delta function and [] is the quadratic variation. It is a notion invented by Paul Lévy . The basic idea is that L x ( t ) {\displaystyle L^{x}(t)} is an (appropriately rescaled and time-parametrized) measure of how much time B s {\displaystyle B_{s}} has spent at x {\displaystyle x} up to time t {\displaystyle t} .
