The symbol $dt \otimes dP$ refers to the product measure in the context of stochastic differential equations (SDEs), indicating that certain properties hold almost everywhere with respect to this measure. In the given setting, $X(t,\omega)$ belonging to $\mathcal{D}(A)$ $dt \otimes d\mathbb{P}$-a.e. means it holds true for all but a set of measure zero. The Lebesgue measure $dt$ is used alongside the probability measure $d\mathbb{P}$. For further understanding, consulting a Real Analysis textbook that covers product measures is recommended. The discussion emphasizes the importance of these measures in defining strong solutions to SDEs.

Good day! I came across this symbol $dt \otimes dP$-a.e. in the book of Mandrekar (page 72) Stochastic Differential Equations in Infinite Dimensions: With Applications ... - Leszek Gawarecki, Vidyadhar Mandrekar - Google Books.

What does this symbol mean? I understand that in real analysis, given a measure space $(X,\mathcal{A},\mu)$ we say that a property holds $\mu$-a.e. if there is a set $N$ such that $\mu(N)=0$ and the property holds for all $x\in (X\smallsetminus N).$

I am a newbie with the symbols $dt\otimes dP$ since $dt$ and $dP$ aren't measures?
Also, can you suggest a book with detailed explanation on such notation?

Thanks a lot.

I have not been able to see page 72 in google books. I am pretty sure that those symbols stand for the product measure though, and that by $dt$ they mean the Lebesgue measure.

You should be able to find a section on the product measure in most Real Analysis books (almost everywhere :D).

I see. Below is taken from page 72 of the book. It is part of the definition of a strong solution of the semilinear SDE. This is the setting:

Let $K$ and $H$ be real separable Hilbert spaces, and $W_t$ be a $K$-valued $Q$-Wiener process on a complete filtered probability space $\Big(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\{ \mathcal{F}_t\}_{t\leq T},\mathbb{P}\Big)$ with the filtration $\mathcal{F}_t$ satisfying the usual conditions. We consider the semilinear SDEs on $[0,T]$ in $H$ in the general form
\begin{align*}
dX(t) &= (AX(t) +F(t,X))dt + B(t,X)dW_t\\
X(0) &= \xi_0.
\end{align*}
Here, $A: \mathcal{D}(A) \subset H \to H$ is the generator of a $C_0$-semigroup of operators $\{ S_t, t\geq 0\}$ on $H.$ The coefficients $F$ and $B$ are, in general, nonlinear mappings,
\begin{align*}
F&:\Omega\times [0,T] \times C\big([0,T],H\big) \to H\\
B&:\Omega\times [0,T] \times C\big([0,T],H\big) \to \mathcal{L}_{2}(K_Q,H).
\end{align*}
Finally, the initial condition $\xi_0$ is an $\mathcal{F}_0$-measurable $H$-valued random variable.

In the definition of a strong solution of the above SSDE, one requirement is the ff:

$X(t,\omega)\in\mathcal{D}(A)$ $dt\otimes d\mathbb{P}$-a.e.

Does this mean that $X(t,\omega)$ belongs to $\mathcal{D}(A)$, except for a set of measure zero? Which measure will we use? The product measure $Leb\otimes\mathbb{P}.$Thanks again for further enlightenment.
 
There is a nice little variation of the problem. The host says, after you have chosen the door, that you can change your guess, but to sweeten the deal, he says you can choose the two other doors, if you wish. This proposition is a no brainer, however before you are quick enough to accept it, the host opens one of the two doors and it is empty. In this version you really want to change your pick, but at the same time ask yourself is the host impartial and does that change anything. The host...
