Pathwise differentiation.


e consider the original SDE MATH and a perturbed SDE MATH We introduce the difference MATH The difference $\delta X_{t}$ is given by the following SDE MATH We assume that the functions $a$ and $b$ are such that the solution of the original SDE $X_{t}$ changes slightly when the perturbation of the initial condition is slight. Hence, the $\delta X_{t}$ is small if $\delta x$ is small. Consequently, MATH We substitute these approximations into the SDE for $\delta X_{t}$ MATH and note that such SDE scales with the magnitude of $\delta x$ . We introduce the process $Y_{t}$ : MATH We arrive to the following system of SDEs: MATH The derivative of interest may be expressed in terms of $X_{t}$ and $Y_{t}$ : MATH
