1. INTRODUCTION AND PRELIMINARIES
In
[7],
Kannan and Bharucha-Reid have defined anoperator-valued
stochastic
integral using
the notion oftensor-product
of elements of aHilbert space. In this paper we continue the same with a small difference in the definition of a Brownian motion. In
[7],
the covariance function is definedthrough
theinner-product ( . , . )
and here we define itthrough
the
tensor-product
g @ h. Since ourintegral
is operatorvalued,
weobtain
four more
integrals
associated with thisintegral.
The purpose of this paper is to define theseintegrals
andgive
Itô’s formulacorresponding
to these
integrals.
In thisintroductory
section wegive
the basic defini- tions and notions we usethroughout
this paper. In section2,
we definethe Brownian motion and
give
asample-path
property. An operator- valued stochasticintegral
and the stochasticintegrals
associated with thisoperator-valued integral
are defined in section 3. Section 4gives
the Ito’s
formula
for theseintegrals.
For the standardtechnique
and theresults in the scalar case we refer to the book A. V. Skorokhod
[l3], (see
also Doob
[2],
Itô[6]
and Kunita[9]).
We use the standardtechnique
to prove Itô’s formula for the
operator-valued
stochasticintegral
and thesame method goes for other
integrals.

Let
(Q, ~,
be acomplete probability

Hilbert space with inner-product ( . , . )
andnorm [ [ . [ [
.By B(H)
we denote the Banachalgebra
of
endomorphisms
ofH,
with( ~ [
.standing
for the operator norm.A
mapping
x : SZ --~ H is called a random element inH,
if for each h EH,
the scalarfunction ( h )
is a real random variable. A mapp-ing
T : SZ -~B(H)
is called a random operator onH,
if for each h EH, T(co)[h]
is a random element in H.For a random element x in
H, clearly II x ~ ~ [
is a real random variable(H
isseparable).
The random elementx(eu)
is said to beintegrable
ifII is integrable.
Theintegrability
of a random operator issimilarly
defined. The
expectation
of a random element in H is an elementEx E H such that
Ex, h~ = E (
x,h~,
for h e H. For agiven
sub-u-algebra 31
c/,
the conditionalexpectation
E{ x
of x relativeto B is defined as follows: E
{x|B}
is a random element in H such that~ E { x ~ } )
is ~-measurable and( h,
E{
x~ } >
= E{( h,
holds for each h E H. A random element
x(cv)
in H(respectively
a randomoperator
T(co)
inB(H))
is said to be of second order if E{ ( ~
o0(respectively E { ( ( T(cc~) ~ ~ 2 ~ oo ).
The collection ofequivalence
classof second order random elements is the Hilbert space
H).
Two random elements x
and y
in H are said to beindependent if,

the real randomvariables and ( y(cv), h ~

If the random elementsT 1 h
1 andT 2 h2, hi, h2 E H,

then we say that the random operatorsT 1 and T2
areindependent.

notion of tensorproduct
of elements of a Hilbert space we refer to Schatten[11,12 ].

2. A BROWNIAN MOTION PROCESS IN HILBERT SPACE
In this section we define a Hilbert space valued Brownian motion.
A
simple
observationgives
theanalogue
of the classical result that almost everysample path
of a Brownian motion has infinite variation on every finite interval.Let I be an
interval,
say[a, b],
on the real line bean H-valued process.
By
E we denote the Hilbert space of allequivalence
classes of second order H-valued stochastic processes; and the norm in E is
given by
Let ç
E E and define the operator covarianceby
(Without
loss ofgenerality
we assume that all the random functions arecentered). If ç
EE,
Thus the covariance function exists for second order processes.
DEFINITION 2.1. - A process
(3(t, w)
E ~ is called a Brownian motion in H, if(2)
as a function of t,f3(t)
iscontinuous,
almostsurely;
(3)
hasindependent increments,
thatis,
if ti 1 t2 t3 t4, the incrementsP(t4) - P(t3)
andP(t2) -
areindependent;
andwhere S is a
positive
definite operator in[ic],
the trace class.(For
detailsof Schmidt-class and trace-class operators we refer to Dunford and Schwartz
[3],
and Schatten[11, 12].)
In[7],
the above condition(4)
ofDefinition 2.1 was
given ’ by E ~ ~ /~(s) ~ ~ = t
- .But, using
Lemma 1.1(h),
condition(2.3) gives
PROPOSITION 2. l. - Let Hand K be two
separable
real Hilbert spaces and let T EB(H, K),
the Banach spaceof
bounded linear operatorsfrom
Hto K.
If
is a Brownian motion inH,
thenB(t) = (T/3)(t)
is a Brownianmotion in K.
The
proof
is asimple
verification of definition 2.1. Conditions(1)
and
(2)
are clear. ThatB(t)
hasindependent
increments follows from the definition ofindependent
random elements uponnoting
Condition
(4)
follows fromand that TST* is a
positive
definite operator inFrom the definition of
measurability, (also
fromproposition 2.1),
it follows
that ( h, /3(t) ~H
is a scalar Brownian motion for each h E H.Hence,
from the classical result about thesample path
behavior of scalar Brownianmotion,
it follows that every Brownian motion in H has the property that almost everysample path
of has infinite variation in weak sense. A functionf : [a, b]
-~ H is of bounded variation iffor every choice of a finite number of
non-overlapping
intervals(a;, b~)
in
[a, b]. (For
notions andproperties
of functions of weak bounded varia-tion,
bounded variation and strong bounded variation we refer to Hille andPhillips [5]).
It is known thatf : [a, b]
--> H is of bounded variation if andonly
if it is of weak bounded variation. Thus we have thefollowing
observation.
PROPOSITION 2.2.
- If
is a Brownian motion inH,
then almost everysample path of (3(t)
hasinfinite
variation on everyfinite
interval.3. STOCHASTIC INTEGRALS
In this section we first define an operator valued stochastic
integral
and obtain few more stochastic
integrals
with suitableoperations
on theoperator
integral.
The operatorintegral
is defined the same way as in[7].
The difference here is
only
in the condition(2.3)
in the definition of Brownian motion in H. Here we also assume, without loss ofgenerality,
that H has a
complete
orthonormal basisconsisting
of theeigen-
vectors of S that appears in condition
(2. 3). Let ( ~.~ ~
be thecorrespond- ing
sequence ofeigenvalues. (We
remark here that the innerproduct
~ ’ ’ ’ ~6
in isindependent
of the choice of basis forH). Let { dr, tE I }
be an
increasing family
ofsub-6-algebras
of such that(a)
for every t,~(t),
~0396 are
At-measurable
and(b)
for anyt E I,
the random elements-
/3(t),
..., - areindependent
of for si, ...,sk E [t, b] ;
such a
family clearly
exists.A process
ç(t)
e E is said to benon-anticipatory of
the Brownian motionif,
for r, s, t ET,
r s t, and(3(t)
-(3(s)
areindependent. By ~~
we
denote
the closure of the linear manifold of all processes~(t)
e E thatare
non-anticipatory
of13.
LetEg
denote all thesimple
processes non-anticipatory
of~3. E~
is dense inEp.
3-A. An
operator-valued
stochasticintegral.
As is customary we first define the
integral for ç
EEg
and then extend it toall ~
EEp. Let a = to
t 1 ... 1 tn =b,
andDefine
I[03BE; wi b b it, w>dflt, w> by
Clearly I[~ ;
is a random operator in[yc].
Thus ourintegral
is a Schmidt-class random operator. When H =
RI,
the tensorproduct
of elementsis
just
the usualproduct
inRi
and so(3.1)
is a natural extension to Hilbert space case. Basicproperties
of(3.1)
aregiven
in[7].
From Lemma 1.1
(a),
I is linear onEg. Clearly
E{ I[~ ; cc~] ~
= 0.An
important
relation isFor,
where
~(~~) _ ~(t~ + 1 ) -
i =0,
..., n - 1. Fori j,
we haveusing dtj-measurability
of~(t~),
andç(t)
and Lemma 1.3.Thus,
from Lemma1.1, independence
and(2.4),
Hence the relation
(3 . 2). Next,
if T, U EB(H),
thenLEMMA 3-A .1.
Let ~ ~,~(t) ~
be aCauchy
sequenceof simple
processes in Then thecorresponding
sequence( [
=I[~n] ~ form
aCauchy
sequence in
[~c]).
Proof
From(3.2),
as n, m, - 00.

Now, for an
arbitrary ç
EEg,
there exists asequence {03BEn}
ofsimple
processes in
E~ converging to ç
in E.By
Lemma3-A .1,
the sequence{ In}
is aCauchy
and hence a convergent sequence in[rc]).
Let Ibe the
L2 -
limit ofIn.
Then defineSince a constant
multiple
of a operator isagain
a[ic]
operator, we shall assume thattr (S)
= 1. Now(3 . 2)
defines anisometry
from0396003B2
into
[QC]).
Since0396003B2
is dense inEg,
themapping 03BEI ba03BE(t)d03B2(t)
extends
by continuity
to anisomentry
fromEg
into[yc]).
Thuswe have the
following

integral.
From
(3.1)
and Lemma 1.1(g)
we note that theintegral (3.1)
is notjust
a Schmidt-class random operator; it is also a trace-class randomoperator. Thus from Lemma 1.1
(h)
we haveAlso
For 03BE~0396003B2,
we define the trace stochasticintegral
as the Bochner
integral
Clearly
Now
Hence we obtain the relation
If we denote
(3. 5) by I), (3. 7)
reads asFor

The operator

Then j -

Now we shall look at the form of the evaluation operator

goes from~,~
into the collection of random elements inH).
Let h be a fixedvector in H
and 03BE
E0396003B2.
From3-A,
Operating I[~]
onh,
we getFor 03BE
E0396003B2,
we define the evaluation stochasticintegral,

Clearly,
Let us consider

vanishes for the same reasons asgiven
for thei~j
operator
integral.
FromAti-measurability of [

dence of

we getNow
Using
this in(3.14)
For an
arbitrary ~
eE,
there exists asequence { ~" ~

such thataE~03BEn - 03BEm~2Hdt b

thecorresponding
sequence 03BEn(t)d h, ~H}, n >_ 1, is a Cauchy
sequence in H)
and hence is a convergent sequence. Thus for an
arbitrary 03BE ~039603B2, we
define the evaluation stochastic
integral
associated with the operatorintegral by
3-D.
Adjoint
evaluationintegral.
The operator

definedby (3.1)
is a random operator on the Hilbert space H. In this section(3-D)
we consider theadjoint

Inner-product
stochasticintegral.
Let g and h be any two fixed elements in H. As
already
seen, the eva-luation
integral
is a second order random element in H. The purpose of this section is to consider theresulting
form of theintegral
when wetake the
inner-product
of the evaluationintegral with g

let g,h E H
