Abstract

In this paper, a generalized It${\hat {\rm o}}$'s formula for continuous functions of two-dimensional continuous semimartingales is proved. The formula uses the local time of each coordinate process of the semimartingale, the left space first derivatives and the second derivative $\nabla _1^- \nabla _2^-f$, and the stochastic Lebesgue-Stieltjes integrals of two parameters. The second derivative $\nabla _1^- \nabla _2^-f$ is only assumed to be of locally bounded variation in certain variables. Integration by parts formulae are asserted for the integrals of local times. The two-parameter integral is defined as a natural generalization of both the Ito integral and the Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral through a type of It${\hat {\rm o }}$ isometry formula.
