Stochastic Calculus with a Special Generalized Fractional Brownian Motion
Authors: Zili Mounir 
Published: January 2025

This work is a first step toward developing a stochastic calculus theory with respect to the generalized fractional Brownian motion, which a recently introduced Gaussian process is extending both fractional and sub-fractional Brownian motions. A Malliavin divergence operator and a stochastic symmetric integral with respect to this process are defined, and sufficient integrability conditions are provided. Moreover, corresponding Ito formulas are established, then applied to introduce a generalized version of the fractional Black–Scholes option pricing model.
