The discussion focuses on solving a stochastic differential equation (SDE) using Ito's Lemma. The SDE is expressed in standard form, and the solution involves transforming the equation with specific parameters. The solution is derived step-by-step, leading to a final expression for X_t that incorporates exponential functions and integrals. Participants are encouraged to follow the outlined procedure to find the expected value E(X_t). The thread emphasizes the importance of understanding the transformation and integration techniques involved in solving such SDEs.

I've been at this for ages but I can't make sense of it. Can somebody help me out?Use Ito's Lemma to solve the stochastic differential equation:

X_t=2+\int_{0}^{t}(15-9X_s)ds+7\int_{0}^{t}dB_s

and find:

E(X_t)

In 'standard form' the SDE is written as...

$\displaystyle d X_{t}= (15-9\ X_{t})\ dt + 7\ dW_{t}\ ,\ x_{0}=2$ (1)

The (1) is a linear in narrow sense SDE andits solving procedure has been described in...

http://www.mathhelpboards.com/f23/unsolved-statistic-questions-other-sites-part-ii-1566/index2.html#post8411

... and its solution is...

$\displaystyle X_{t}= \varphi_{t}\ \{ x_{0} +\int_{0}^{t} \varphi_{s}^{-1}\ u_{s}\ ds + \int_{0}^{t} \varphi_{s}^{-1}\ v_{s}\ dW_{s} \}$ (2)


Here is $a_{t}=-9$ , so that is $\varphi_{t}=e^{-9 t}$,$u_{t}=15$, $v_{t}=7$ and $x_{0}=2$ so that (2) becomes...

$\displaystyle X_{t}= e^{- 9 t}\ \{ 2 + 15\ \int_{0}^{t} e^{9 s} ds + 7\ \int_{0}^{t} e^{9 s}\ dW_{s} \}= e^{-9 t}\ \{2 + \frac{5}{3}\ (e^{9 t}-1) + \frac{7}{9}\ (e^{9 W_{t}}-1) - \frac{7}{2}\ (e^{9t}-1) \} = $

$\displaystyle = - \frac{11}{6} + \frac {55}{18}\ e^{-9 t} + \frac{7}{9}\ e^{9\ (W_{t}-t)}$ (3)

Kind regards

There is a nice little variation of the problem. The host says, after you have chosen the door, that you can change your guess, but to sweeten the deal, he says you can choose the two other doors, if you wish. This proposition is a no brainer, however before you are quick enough to accept it, the host opens one of the two doors and it is empty. In this version you really want to change your pick, but at the same time ask yourself is the host impartial and does that change anything. The host...
