A $C^{0,1}$-functional It\^o's formula and its applications in mathematical finance

Using Dupire's notion of vertical derivative, we provide a functional (path-dependent) extension of the It\^o's formula of Gozzi and Russo (2006) that applies to C^{0,1}-functions of continuous weak Dirichlet processes. It is motivated and illustrated by its applications to the hedging or superhedging problems of path-dependent options in mathematical finance, in particular in the case of model uncertainty
