In this reading course, we will study stochastic processes in continuous time such as stochastic integrals driven by Brownian motion. By using the approach of Kunita and Watanabe that is based on Riesz’s representation theorem, we will introduce stochastic integrals with respect to square-integrable martingales and analyse their probabilistic properties. In this context, the approximation and simulation of continuous processes will be discussed.
