Abstract

The weak Stratonovich integral is defined as the limit, in law, of Stratonovich-type symmetric Riemann sums. We derive an explicit expression for the weak Stratonovich integral of f(B) with respect to g(B), where B is a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter 1/6, and f and g are smooth functions. We use this expression to derive an Itô-type formula for this integral. As in the case where g is the identity, the Itô-type formula has a correction term which is a classical Itô integral and which is related to the so-called signed cubic variation of g(B). Finally, we derive a surprising formula for calculating with differentials. We show that if d M = X d N, then Z d M can be written as ZX d N minus a stochastic correction term which is again related to the signed cubic variation.
