One of these, Itō's lemma, expresses the composite of an Itō process ( or more generally a semimartingale ) dX < sub > t </ sub > with a twice-differentiable function f. In Itō's lemma, the derivative of the composite function depends not only on dX < sub > t </ sub > and the derivative of f but also on the second derivative of f. The dependence on the second derivative is a consequence of the non-zero quadratic variation of the stochastic process, which broadly speaking means that the process can move up and down in a very rough way.
