On the Onsager-Machlup functional for elliptic diffusion processes

Exposés

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (SEMPROBAB,volume 1729)

Abstract

In this paper, we show, following K. Hara and Y. Takahashi [7], how the stochastic Stokes theorem and the Kunita-Watanabe theorem on orthogonal martingales may be used to produce a general and easy computation of the Onsager-Machlup functional of an elliptic diffusion process, even for large classes of norms in Wiener space.
