The infinite dimensional analysis as a branch of mathematical sciences
was formed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Motivated by
problems in mathematical physics, the first steps in this field were
taken by V. Volterra, R. GateallX, P. Levy and M. Frechet, among
others (see the preface to Levy[2]). Nevertheless, the most fruitful
direction in this field is the infinite dimensional integration theory
initiated by N. Wiener and A. N. Kolmogorov which is closely related
to the developments of the theory of stochastic processes. It was
Wiener who constructed for the first time in 1923 a probability
measure on the space of all continuous functions (i. e. the Wiener
measure) which provided an ideal math ematical model for Brownian
motion. Then some important properties of Wiener integrals, especially
the quasi-invariance of Gaussian measures, were discovered by R.
Cameron and W. Martin[l, 2, 3]. In 1931, Kolmogorov[l] deduced a
second partial differential equation for transition probabilities of
Markov processes order with continuous trajectories (i. e. diffusion
processes) and thus revealed the deep connection between theories of
differential equations and stochastic processes. The stochastic
analysis created by K. Ito (also independently by Gihman [1]) in the
forties is essentially an infinitesimal analysis for trajectories of
stochastic processes. By virtue of Ito's stochastic differential
equations one can construct diffusion processes via direct
probabilistic methods and treat them as function als of Brownian
paths (i. e. the Wiener functionals).
