On Krylov’s estimates for optional semimartingales

The estimates of N. V. Krylov for distributions of stochastic integrals by means of the L d {L_{d}} -norm of a measurable function are well-known and are widely used in the theory of stochastic differential equations and controlled diffusion processes. We generalize estimates of this type for optional semimartingales, then apply these estimates to prove the change of variables formula for a general class of functions from the Sobolev space W d 2 {W^{2}_{d}} . We also show how to use these estimates for the investigation of L 2 {L^{2}} -convergence of solutions of optional SDE’s.
