An introduction to white noise theory and Malliavin calculus for fractional Brownian motion

Fractional Brownian motion (FBM) with Hurst parameter index between 0 and 1 is a stochastic process originally introduced by Kolmogorov in a study of turbulence. Many other applications have subsequently been suggested. In order to obtain good mathematical models based on FBM, it is necessary to have a stochastic calculus for such processes. The purpose of this paper is to give an introduction to this newly developed theory of stochastic integration for FBM based on white-noise theory and (Malliavin-type) differentiation
