Fukushima type decomposition for semi-Dirichlet forms

Abstract

We present a Fukushima type decomposition in the setting of general quasi-regular semi-Dirichlet forms. The decomposition is then employed to give a transformation formula for martingale additive functionals. Applications of the results to some concrete examples of semi-Dirichlet forms are given at the end of the paper. We discuss also the uniqueness question about the Doob-Meyer decomposition on optional sets of interval type.
