Itô's formula for finite variation Lévy processes: The case of non-smooth functions

Extending Itô's formula to non-smooth functions is important both in theory and applications. One of the fairly general extensions of the formula, known as Meyer-Itô, applies to one dimensional semimartingales and convex functions. There are also satisfactory generalizations of Itô's formula for diffusion processes where the Meyer-Itô assumptions are weakened even further. We study a version of Itô's formula for multi-dimensional finite variation Lévy processes assuming that the underlying function is continuous and admits weak derivatives. We also discuss some applications of this extension, particularly in finance.
