Expectation Value of a Stochastic Quantity
Youre correct about it being y(x) rather than y(t) sorry for the typo. \langle y(x) \rangle is supposed to be the mean. Sorry, I know it sounds silly but I didnt realize the mean and ensemble average were different until you mentioned it. (I am really very new to this sort of thing). After...- JohnFrum

Expectation Value of a Stochastic Quantity
Hi, thanks for your reply. I'll try ot give the problem a bit more fully. I'm considering the stochastic differential equation \frac{dy}{dx}=y(x)\xi(x) Where as I mentioned above, \xi(t) is a stochastic variable obeying stationary gaussian statistics. Trivially this can be integrated to yield...- JohnFrum

Expectation Value of a Stochastic Quantity
Homework Statement I'm working on a process similar to geometric brownian motion (a process with multiplicative noise), and I need to calculate the following expectation/mean; \langle y \rangle=\langle e^{\int_{0}^{x}\xi(t)dt}\rangle Where \xi(t) is delta-correlated so that...- JohnFrum
