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...

... 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

First trick I learned this one a long time ago and have used it to entertain and amuse young kids. Ask your friend to write down a three-digit number without showing it to you. Then ask him or her to rearrange the digits to form a new three-digit number. After that, write whichever is the larger number above the other number, and then subtract the smaller from the larger, making sure that you don't see any of the numbers. Then ask the young "victim" to tell you any two of the digits of the...
