Abstract

This paper discusses the Wiener–Itô chaos decomposition of an L2 function φ over Wiener space, and is concerned in particular with the identification of the integrands ƒn in the chaos decomposition

First these are identified as Radon–Nikodým derivatives. Two elementary non-standard proofs of the Wiener–Itô chaos decomposition are given, based on Anderson's construction of Brownian motion and Itô integration.
