A Discrete-Time Clark–Ocone Formula and its Application to an Error Analysis

In this paper, we will establish a discrete-time version of Clark(–Ocone–Haussmann) formula, which can be seen as an asymptotic expansion in a weak sense. The formula is applied to the estimation of the error caused by the martingale representation. Throughout, we use another distribution theory with respect to Gaussian rather than Lebesgue measure, which can be seen as a discrete Malliavin calculus.
