SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on applying Ito's Lemma to solve the stochastic differential equation (SDE) defined as X_t=2+∫(15-9X_s)ds+7∫dB_s. The SDE is reformulated into standard form as dX_t=(15-9X_t)dt+7dW_t, with the initial condition x_0=2. The solution is derived using the transformation φ_t=e^{-9t}, resulting in X_t expressed as a combination of deterministic and stochastic integrals, ultimately leading to the formula X_t=-11/6+(55/18)e^{-9t}+(7/9)e^{9(W_t-t)}.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of stochastic differential equations (SDEs)
  • Familiarity with Ito's Lemma and its applications
  • Knowledge of stochastic calculus, particularly Itô integrals
  • Basic proficiency in mathematical notation and transformations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of Ito's Lemma in detail
  • Explore linear SDEs and their solution techniques
  • Learn about stochastic processes and their applications in finance
  • Investigate the properties of Brownian motion and its role in stochastic calculus
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, financial analysts, and researchers in quantitative finance who are working with stochastic processes and require a solid understanding of Ito's Lemma and its applications in solving 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)
