4. Donsker’s Delta Function

Let c δ be the Dirac delta function at c ∈ . Donsker’s delta function for 2 f L ∈ is defined by , : , , . c f c f f c δ δ δ = ⋅ = ⋅ − In order to “pin” Brownian motion at a point c ∈ we consider the composition of the Dirac delta function with Brownian motion [0, ,1 . t c δ ⋅ − This can be given a rigorous meaning as a Hida distribution, see for example Kuo 1996. Donsker’s delta function has some important applications, e.g. partial differential equations, quantum mechanical propagator in Feynman path integral and self-intersection local time of a stochastic process. We will present an application of the characterization theorem in the previous section to show that Donsker’s delta function for mixed fractional Brownian motion is a Hida distribution. This result will be a useful tool, particularly in the three areas mentioned above. From distribution theory the following integral representation of Dirac delta is well known 1 exp 2 c x i x c d δ λ λ π = − ∫ . We want to realize the Donsker’s delta function of mixed fractional Brownian motion , , , , 1 exp 2 H a b H a b c t t M i M c d δ λ λ π = − ∫ 12 as Bochner integral in S ∗ . The following estimation was proved in Drumond et al 2008 and will be very useful for our purpose. Theorem 4.1. Let 0,1 H ∈ and f S ∈ . Then there exist constant H C , independent of f , such that [0, 1 sup sup H t H x x f x N x dx C t f x f x f ± ∈ ∈ ⎛ ⎞ ′ ≤ + + ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ ⎠ ∫ . Let S η ∈ and define , , : exp H a b t F S i M c λ η λ η = − . Then we have 2 2 2 2 1 [0, 2 exp exp 1 . t H H t F a t b t i c a x dx b x N x dx λ η λ λ η η − ⎛ ⎞ ⎛ ⎞ ⎜ ⎟ = − + − − − ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ ⎠ ⎝ ⎠ ∫ ∫ Thus the mapping F λ λ η is measurable for all S η ∈ . For the boundedness, let z ∈ 2 2 2 2 1 2 [0, exp . exp 1 . H t H t F a t b t z a x dx z b x N x dx λ η λ λ η λ η − ≤ − + ⎛ ⎞ ⎜ ⎟ + ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ ⎠ ∫ ∫ 2 2 2 2 1 2 exp exp sup sup sup .

Hence 2 2 2 2 1 2 exp exp . H H F a t b t z k λ η λ λ η ∗ ≤ − + For simplicity let 2 2 2 : Ht a t b t β = + and : H k γ η ∗ = .

Hence F λ η satisfies both conditions in Corollary 3.8, and by integrating over we obtain an explicit formula for S-transform of Donsker’s delta function of mixed fractional Brownian motion. In other words we have proved the following result. Theorem 4.2. The Bochner integral , , , , 1 exp 2 H a b H a b c t t M i M c d δ λ λ π = − ∫ is a Hida distribution with S-transform given by , , 2 [0, 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 exp 1 , 2 2 H a b c t t H t H H S M c a x dx b x N x dx a t b t a t b t δ η η η π − ⎛ ⎞ ⎛ ⎞ ⎜ ⎟ = − − − ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ + + ⎝ ⎠ ⎝ ⎠ ∫ ∫ for every S η ∈ .
