H-derivative
In mathematics, the H-derivative is a notion of derivative in the study of abstract [Wiener space]s and the Malliavin calculus.
Definition
Let be an abstract Wiener space, and suppose that is differentiable. Then the Fréchet derivative is a mapi.e., for, is an element of, the dual space to.
Therefore, define the -derivative at by
a continuous linear map on.
Define the -gradient by
That is, if denotes the adjoint of, we have.
