Skorokhod Integral
The Skorokhod integral operator which is conventionally denoted δ is defined as the adjoint of the Malliavin derivative thus for u in the domain of the operator which is a subset of, for F in the domain of the Malliavin derivative, we require
where the inner product is that on viz
The existence of this adjoint follows from the Riesz representation theorem for linear operators on Hilbert spaces.
It can be shown that if u is adapted then
where the integral is to be understood in the Itô sense. Thus this provides a method of extending the Itô integral to non adapted integrands.

Famous quotes containing the word integral:
“Self-centeredness is a natural outgrowth of one of the toddler’s major concerns: What is me and what is mine...? This is why most toddlers are incapable of sharing ... to a toddler, what’s his is what he can get his hands on.... When something is taken away from him, he feels as though a piece of him—an integral piece—is being torn from him.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
