Definition
Let be the Cameron-Martin space, and denote classical Wiener space:
- ;
- ;
By the Sobolev embedding theorem, . Let
denote the inclusion map.
Suppose that is Fréchet differentiable. Then the Fréchet derivative is a map
- ;
i.e., for paths, is an element of, the dual space to . Denote by the continuous linear map defined by
sometimes known as the H-derivative. Now define to be the adjoint of in the sense that
- .
Then the Malliavin derivative is defined by
The domain of is the set of all Fréchet differentiable real-valued functions on ; the codomain is .
The Skorokhod integral is defined to be the adjoint of the Malliavin derivative:

Famous quotes containing the word definition:
“According to our social pyramid, all men who feel displaced racially, culturally, and/or because of economic hardships will turn on those whom they feel they can order and humiliate, usually women, children, and animals—just as they have been ordered and humiliated by those privileged few who are in power. However, this definition does not explain why there are privileged men who behave this way toward women.”
—Ana Castillo (b. 1953)
“The man who knows governments most completely is he who troubles himself least about a definition which shall give their essence. Enjoying an intimate acquaintance with all their particularities in turn, he would naturally regard an abstract conception in which these were unified as a thing more misleading than enlightening.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“Scientific method is the way to truth, but it affords, even in
principle, no unique definition of truth. Any so-called pragmatic
definition of truth is doomed to failure equally.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
