MONOTONICITY AND NON-MONOTONICITY OF DOMAINS OF
STOCHASTIC INTEGRAL OPERATORS
Abstract: A Lévy process on with distribution at time is denoted by
If the improper stochastic integral of with respect to
is definable, its distribution is denoted by The class of all infinitely
divisible distributions on such that is definable is denoted by
The class its two extensions and (compensated and
essential), and its restriction (absolutely definable) are studied. It is shown that
is monotonic with respect to which means that implies
Further, is monotonic with respect to but neither
nor is monotonic with respect to Furthermore, there exist ,
and such that and An explicit
example for this is related to some properties of a class of martingale Lévy processes.
