Wikipedia

  1. local time

    A time zone is an area which observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial and social purposes. Time zones tend to follow the boundaries between countries and their subdivisions instead of strictly following longitude, because it is convenient for areas in frequent communication to keep the same time. All time zones are defined as offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), ranging from UTC−12:00 to UTC+14:00. The offsets are usually a whole number of hours, but a few zones are offset by an additional 30 or 45 minutes, such as in India, South Australia and Nepal. Some areas of higher latitude use daylight saving time for about half of the year, typically by adding one hour to local time during spring and summer.

  1. local time

    Local time refers to the specific time observed in a particular geographic location or region based on its longitude, often adjusted for daylight saving time. It can vary because different places experience daylight and darkness at different times due to the Earth's rotation. The time of a place located in the east is ahead compared to a place located in the west.

Local time appears in various stochastic integration formulas, such as Tanaka's formula, if the integrand is not sufficiently smooth.
