It\^o Formula for Processes Taking Values in Intersection of Finitely Many Banach Spaces

Abstract

Motivated by applications to SPDEs we extend the It\^o formula for the square of the norm of a semimartingale $y(t)$ from Gy\"ongy and Krylov (Stochastics 6(3):153-173, 1982) to the case \begin{equation*} \sum_{i=1}^m \int_{(0,t]} v_i^{\ast}(s)\,dA(s) + h(t)=:y(t)\in V \quad \text{$dA\times \mathbb{P}$-a.e.}, \end{equation*} where $A$ is an increasing right-continuous adapted process, $v_i^{\ast}$ is a progressively measurable process with values in $V_i^{\ast}$, the dual of a Banach space $V_i$, $h$ is a cadlag martingale with values in a Hilbert space $H$, identified with its dual $H^{\ast}$, and $V:=V_1\cap V_2 \cap \ldots \cap V_m$ is continuously and densely embedded in $H$. The formula is proved under the condition that $\|y\|_{V_i}^{p_i}$ and $\|v_i^\ast\|_{V_i^\ast}^{q_i}$ are almost surely locally integrable with respect to $dA$ for some conjugate exponents $p_i, q_i$. This condition is essentially weaker than the one which would arise in application of the results in Gy\"ongy and Krylov (Stochastics 6(3):153-173, 1982) to the semimartingale above.
