SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on determining the dynamics of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) using Itô's lemma. The user initially struggles with the concepts of Riemann and Itô integrals but clarifies their inquiry regarding the diffusion of the process dV_t. They successfully apply a Taylor expansion and multiplication rules derived from Itô's lemma to solve their problem. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding both Itô's formula and the underlying stochastic calculus.
