We study the quadratic variations (in time and in space) of the solution to the stochastic wave equation driven by the space-time white noise. We give their limit (almost surely and in [Formula: see text]) and we prove that these variations satisfy, after a proper renormalization, a Central Limit Theorem. We apply the quadratic variation to define and analyze estimators for the drift parameter of the wave equation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
