TIME DEPENDENT MALLIAVIN CALCULUS ON MANIFOLDS AND
APPLICATION TO NONLINEAR FILTERING
Abstract: In this paper, we prove, using Malliavin calculus, that under a global
Hörmander condition the law of a Riemannian manifold valued stochastic process, a
solution of a stochastic differential equation with time dependent coefficients, admits a
-density with respect to the Riemannian volume element. This result is applied
to a nonlinear filtering problem with time dependent coefficients on manifolds.
