Clark-Ocone formula for a smooth Brownian terminal payoff (${\beta }_t=\mathbb{E}[{\varphi }^{\prime }(W_T)\mid {\mathcal{F}}_t]1_{\{t\le T\}}$)

In the completed natural Brownian filtration, a bounded continuously differentiable $\varphi$ with bounded derivative satisfiesThe integrand is unique up to $d\mathbb{P}dt$-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 ${\varphi }^{\prime }(W_T)1_{\{t\le T\}}$ onto the predictable processes in the product $L^2$ space. This explains the conditional expectation in the formula, rather than a nonadapted terminal derivative.
