Let Yt be
Yt=∫Ωg(Xu)du
where g(.) is a deterministic function and Ω=[t0,t] continuos partition of R. Furthermore let X be an Ito process Xu=X0+∫u0μ(s)ds+∫u0σ(s)dWPs for som well behaved μ and σ and (WPs)0≤s is standard brownian motion under objective probability measure P.
What is differential of Yt?
dYt=?
Answer
Under some probability space (Ω,F,P) equipped with the (augmentation of the) natural filtration F=(Ft)t≥0 of a P-Wiener process (Wt)t≥0, consider the Itô process Xt=X0+∫t0μ(s)ds+∫t0σ(s)dWs
for some sufficiently well-behaved functions μ and σ, such that the stochastic integration can be defined in the Itô sense.
Define the integral Yt=∫t0Xudu
From (1) it follows that Yt=∫t0(X0+∫u0μ(s)ds+∫u0σ(s)dWs)du=X0t+∫t0∫u0μ(s)dsdu+∫t0∫u0σ(s)dWsdu Using (stochastic) Fubini theorem one can permute the integration order and write Yt=X0t+∫t0∫tsμ(s)duds+∫t0∫tsσ(s)dudWs=X0t+∫t0(t−s)μ(s)ds+∫t0(t−s)σ(s)dWs=(X0+∫t0μ(s)ds+∫t0σ(s)dWs)t−∫t0sμ(s)ds−∫t0sσ(s)dWs=Xtt−∫t0sμ(s)ds⏟classic integral−∫t0sσ(s)dWs⏟Itô integral And one can now appeal to the usual "differential" definition (whether from standard calculus or Itô calculus) to write: dYt=Xtdt+tdXt+0⏟d(Xtt)Itô's lemma−tμ(t)dt−tσ(t)dWt=Xtdt+tdXt−t(μ(t)dt+σ(t)dWt)⏟dXt=Xtdt Now as mentioned in the comments, because any smooth function g(Xt) will also be an Itô process, you can repeat the reasoning with ˜Xt:=g(Xt) to get, for your particular problem, dYt=˜Xtdt=g(Xt)dt
[Remark] Should Xu=X(u)→X(t,u) with an additional, explicit dependence on t things can get more complicated. See this related question on math SE.
[Edit] Just saw that this was discussed here as well.
