Clark-Ocone formula for a smooth Brownian terminal payoff
ID: clark-ocone-formula-for-a-smooth-brownian-terminal-payoff
In the completed natural Brownian filtration, a bounded continuously differentiable with bounded derivative satisfiesThe integrand is unique up to -almost everywhere equality. Gaussian integration by parts first gives the duality between the payoff and every square-integrable Itô integral. The Brownian martingale representation theorem then identifies the integrand as the projection of onto the predictable processes in the product space. This explains the conditional expectation in the formula, rather than a nonadapted terminal derivative.
