| In [[probability theory]], the '''martingale representation theorem''' states that a random variable that is measurable with respect to the [[Filtration (mathematics)#Measure theory|filtration]] generated by a [[Brownian motion]] can be written in terms of an [[Itô integral]] with respect to this Brownian motion.

| The theorem only asserts the existence of the representation and does not help to find it explicitly; it is possible in many cases to determine the form of the representation using [[Malliavin calculus]].
| |
| | |
| Similar theorems also exist for [[Martingale (probability theory)|martingales]] on filtrations induced by jump processes, for example, by [[Markov chain]]s.
| |
| | |
| ==Statement of the theorem==
| |
| Let <math>B_t</math> be a [[Brownian motion]] on a standard [[filtered probability space]] <math>(\Omega, \mathcal{F},\mathcal{F}_t, P )</math> and let <math>\mathcal{G}_t</math> be the [[augmentation of the filtration]] generated by <math>B</math>. If ''X'' is a square integrable random variable measurable with respect to <math>\mathcal{G}_\infty</math>, then there exists a [[predictable process]] ''C'' which is [[adapted process|adapted]] with respect to <math>\mathcal{G}_t</math>, such that
| |
| | |
| :<math>X = E(X) + \int_0^\infty C_s\,dB_s.</math>
| |
| | |
| Consequently
| |
| | |
| :<math> E(X| \mathcal{G}_t) = E(X) + \int_0^t C_s \, d B_s.</math>
| |
| | |
| ==Application in finance==
| |
| The martingale representation theorem can be used to establish the existence
| |
| of a hedging strategy.
| |
| Suppose that <math>\left ( M_t \right )_{0 \le t < \infty}</math> is a Q-martingale process, whose volatility <math>\sigma_t</math> is always non-zero.
| |
| Then, if <math>\left ( N_t \right )_{0 \le t < \infty}</math> is any other Q-martingale, there exists an <math>\mathcal{F}</math>-previsible process <math>\phi</math>, unique up to sets of measure 0, such that <math>\int_0^T \phi_t^2 \sigma_t^2 \, dt < \infty</math> with probability one, and ''N'' can be written as:
| |
| | |
| :<math>N_t = N_0 + \int_0^t \phi_s\, d M_s.</math>
| |
| | |
| The replicating strategy is defined to be:
| |
| * hold <math>\phi_t</math> units of the stock at the time ''t'', and
| |
| * hold <math>\psi_t B_t = C_t - \phi_t Z_t</math> units of the bond.
| |
| where <math>Z_t</math> is the stock price discounted by the bond price to time <math>t</math> and <math>C_t</math> is the expected payoff of the option at time <math>t</math>.
| |
| | |
| At the expiration day ''T'', the value of the portfolio is:
| |
| :<math>V_T = \phi_T S_T + \psi_T B_T = C_T = X</math>
| |
| | |
| and it's easy to check that the strategy is self-financing: the change in the value of the portfolio only depends on the change of the asset prices <math>\left ( dV_t = \phi_t d S_t + \psi_t\, d B_t \right ) </math>.
