Analysis
of
white
noise
functionals
We wish
to
discuss functionals rp(B(t), t E R), noting
that
{B(t)
, t E
R}
is
a
system
of idealized elemental
random
variables.
First,
we form basic
functionals of
B(t)'s,
that
is polynomials in
B(t)'s.
Consider a system
A = algebra generated by
the
system
{I,
B(t),
t E
R}.
Proposition
2.1.
A forms a graded algebra, that is
i) A is an algebra.
ii) A =
L
~=o
An,
(algebraic direct
sum)
where
An
= {homogeneous polynomials of degree n}
iii)
An·
Am
=
{fn(B)gm(B);f
n
E
An
,gm
E
Am}.
Remark
2.1.
B(t)
=
B(t,
w),
wE
n(fl),
B
is
Brownian motion. For every
w,
B(t,
w)
is
defined as a generalized function of t.
But
smeared variables
B(~),~
E
E,E
being a nuclear space, are well defined as
ordinary
random
variables.
Remark
2.2.
The
sigma field generated by
{B(t),
t E
R}
is
understood
to
be
equa
l
to
the
sigma field B generated by
{B(~),~
E
E}.
It
is known
that

In
particular,
HI
is
spanned
by

and
we have
As
an
extension of
the
isometry
we
have
Also
it
is shown
that

can
be
extended
to

K(-I)(R),

(2)
where
K(
-1)
(R) is
the
Sobolev space
of
degree
-lover
Rl.
Since
K(
-1)
(R)
contains
delta
function
btU
, we see
that
B(t)
is a well defined
member
of
