Differentiable measure

{{Short description|Measure that has a notion of derivative}}

In functional analysis and measure theory, a differentiable measure is a measure that has a notion of a derivative. The theory of differentiable measure was introduced by Russian mathematician Sergei Fomin and proposed at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1966 in Moscow as an infinite-dimensional analog of the theory of distributions.{{cite conference |first=Sergei Vasil'evich |last=Fomin|title=Differential measures in linear spaces |conference=Int.

Differentiable measure

Let

  • X be a real vector space,
  • \mathcal{A} be σ-algebra that is invariant under translation by vectors h\in X, i.e. A +th\in \mathcal{A} for all A\in\mathcal{A} and t\in\R.

This setting is rather general on purpose since for most definitions only linearity and measurability is needed. But usually one chooses X to be a real Hausdorff locally convex space with the Borel or cylindrical σ-algebra \mathcal{A}.

For a measure \mu let \mu_h(A):=\mu(A+h) denote the shifted measure by h\in X.

=Fomin differentiability=

A measure \mu on (X,\mathcal{A}) is Fomin differentiable along h\in X if for every set A\in\mathcal{A} the limit

:d_{h}\mu(A):=\lim\limits_{t\to 0}\frac{\mu(A+th)-\mu(A)}{t}

exists. We call d_{h}\mu the Fomin derivative of \mu.

Equivalently, for all sets A\in\mathcal{A} is f_{\mu}^{A,h}:t\mapsto \mu(A+th) differentiable in 0.{{cite book|first=Vladimir I.|last=Bogachev|date=2010|title=Differentiable Measures and the Malliavin Calculus|publisher=American Mathematical Society|pages=69–72|isbn=978-0821849934}}

==Properties==

  • The Fomin derivative is again another measure and absolutely continuous with respect to \mu.
  • Fomin differentiability can be directly extend to signed measures.
  • Higher and mixed derivatives will be defined inductively d^n_{h}=d_{h}(d^{n-1}_{h}).

=Skorokhod differentiability=

Let \mu be a Baire measure and let C_b(X) be the space of bounded and continuous functions on X.

\mu is Skorokhod differentiable (or S-differentiable) along h\in X if a Baire measure \nu exists such that for all f\in C_b(X) the limit

:\lim\limits_{t\to 0}\int_X\frac{ f(x-th)-f(x)}{t}\mu(dx)=\int_X f(x)\nu(dx)

exists.

In shift notation

:\lim\limits_{t\to 0}\int_X\frac{ f(x-th)-f(x)}{t}\mu(dx)=\lim\limits_{t\to 0}\int_Xf\; d\left(\frac{\mu_{th}-\mu}{t}\right).

The measure \nu is called the Skorokhod derivative (or S-derivative or weak derivative) of \mu along h\in X and is unique.{{cite journal|first=Vladimir I. |last=Bogachev |title=On Skorokhod Differentiable Measures|journal=Ukrainian Mathematical Journal|volume=72|page=1163|date=2021|doi=10.1007/s11253-021-01861-x}}

=Albeverio-Høegh-Krohn Differentiability=

A measure \mu is Albeverio-Høegh-Krohn differentiable (or AHK differentiable) along h\in X if a measure \lambda\geq 0 exists such that

  1. \mu_{th} is absolutely continuous with respect to \lambda such that \lambda_{th}=f_t\cdot \lambda,
  2. the map g:\R\to L^2(\lambda),\; t\mapsto f_{t}^{1/2} is differentiable.

==Properties==

  • The AHK differentiability can also be extended to signed measures.

Example

Let \mu be a measure with a continuously differentiable Radon-Nikodým density g, then the Fomin derivative is

:d_{h}\mu(A)=\lim\limits_{t\to 0}\frac{\mu(A+th)-\mu(A)}{t}=\lim\limits_{t\to 0}\int_A\frac{g(x+th)-g(x)}{t}\mathrm{d}x=\int_A g'(x)\mathrm{d}x.
