Recently, a number of authors--forexample, Doss [4], Sussman [12]--have shown that the solution of a stochastic differential equation with smooth coefficients and a scalar" noise" can be expressed as a functional of the noise sample path in a way that does not directly involve stochastic integration. The purpose of this paper isto obtain a similar representation for the general equation of nonlinear filtering which, following Kunita [7], can be regarded as a measure-valued stochastic differential equation. The relevant filtering theory is outlined in 2 below; Liptser and Shiryaev [9] can be consulted for the fuji story. When the signal process isa finite-stateMarkov chain, the desired representation is given by (2.10) below and is a direct application of the results of [4]; it was already obtained, from somewhat different points of view, by Rozovskii and Shiryaev [10](who cover the countable state-space case) and by Clark [2]. In Theorem 2 the general formula referred to in the Summary is shown to be the appropriate one under certain conditions, and in 3 it is shown that these conditions are satisfied when the signal process (x,) is governed by a L6vy generator, using results ofStroock [11]. When (x,) is a diffusion process, it is not necessary to appeal to" martingale problem" results" a simple application of the Girsanov measure transformation technique suffices, and this gives the conditional expectation in the form of a function-space integral parameterized by the observation process sample path, a form which was already obtained by Clark [2] and which can also be found in the proof of Theorem 8.7 of [9]. We conclude with some remarks on the filtering of diffusions with boundary conditions.
