Determine dynamics of stochastic differential equations (SDE)

Click For Summary
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.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of stochastic calculus
  • Familiarity with Itô's lemma
  • Knowledge of Riemann and Itô integrals
  • Basic concepts of semimartingales
NEXT STEPS

  • Explore advanced topics in stochastic calculus, such as Girsanov's theorem
  • Investigate numerical methods for solving SDEs
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, financial analysts, and researchers in quantitative finance who are working with stochastic processes and seeking to deepen their understanding of SDEs and Itô's lemma.

Hi guys, I´ve just started with SDE and Itô´s lemma but don't really know where and how to begin. I´ve realized that both a Reimann integral and Itô integral is needed both cannot figure out how to solve these questions. Would be much appreciated if someone would help me.

What exactly do you mean by 'determine the dynamics of'?

An elementary version of Ito's formula states that for $f \in C^2(\mathbb{R})$ and a semimartingale $X$, we have
$$f(X_t) =f(X_0) + \int_{0}^{t} f'(X_s)dX_s+\frac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{t}f''(X_s)d\langle X_s, X_s \rangle$$

So, can you be more clear about your troubles with this exercice?
 
Sorry for being unclear, but what i meant was how to determine the diffusion of dV_t of the different functions. But I made an Taylor expansion and let \DeltaX and \Deltat be infinite small which gave me some multiplication rules which i could use to solve it (Itôs lemma). So I´ve already solved this question, thanks anyways for the help.
