Abstract

Abstract We note examples of probabilistic interpretations of integrals involving 2-copulas. We then use the theory of strong convergence of copulas to justify an integration-by-parts formula involving 2-copulas,
$$ \int_{{I^2}} {f\left( A \right)dB = \int_0^1 {f\left( t \right)dt - \int_{{I^2}} {f'\left( A \right){D_1}A\,{D_2}B = \int_0^1 {f\left( t \right)dt - \int_{{I^2}} {f'\left( A \right){D_2}A\,{D_1}B.} } } } } $$
where A and B are arbitrary 2-copulas and f is continuously differentiable.
