Abstract

We introduce p-Rough Path Theory following M. Gubinelli_s approach, as known as algebraic integration. Throughout this masters thesis, we are concerned only in the case where 1 </= p < 3, witch is enough to deal with trajectories of a Brownnian motion and some applications to Stochastic Calculus. Afterwards, we study differential equations related to rough paths, where we connect the approach of A. M. Davie to equations with the approach of M. Gubinelli to integrals. At the end of this work, we apply the theory of rough paths to stochastic calculus, more precisely, we related the integrals of Itô and Stratonovich to integral along paths. (AU)
