Conditional expectation of exponent to the power of BM, representation theorem












1












$begingroup$


Let $T > 0$ and $M(t) = E[e^{W(T)}|F(t)]$ where ${F(t) : t geq 0}$ is a natural filtration generated by W and $t leq T$
I need to show that M(t) is a martingale and I also need to find a unique square integrable function $phi$ for the representation
$M(t) = M(0) + int_0^t phi(s)dW(s)$




What I did:
for the martingale part I checked 3 conditions:




  1. It does look adapted, doesn't depend on future values (not sure how to prove this rigorously)

  2. Integrability: $E[|E[e^{W(T)}|F(t)]|] leq (jensen) E[E[e^{|W(T)|}|F(t)]] = E[e^{|W(T)|}] = E[e^{sqrt{T}*|epsilon|}] < infty $ (I can just say that MGF is finite, right? $epsilon$ is a standard normal random variable)


  3. For any $s leq t: E[M(t)|F(s)] = E[E[e^{W(T)}|F(t)]|F(s)] = E[E[e^{W(T)}|F(s)]|F(t)] = E[e^{W(T)}|F(s)] = M(s) $
    Thus $M(t)$ is a martingale



For the representation part:



$E[e^{W(T)}|F(t)] = M(0) + int_0^t phi(s)dW(s)$



Now, this is where I'm not sure if I'm doing it right:



$E[e^{W(T)}|F(t)] = E[e^{W(T) - W(t) + W(t)}|F(t)] = $ (take out what is known) $ e^{W(t)}*E[e^{W(T) - W(t)}|F(t)] = $ (independent increments) $ e^{W(t)}*E[e^{W(T)-W(t)}] = e^{W(t)}*e^{frac{T-t}{2}} = e^{W(t) + 0.5(T - t)} $



$M(0) = e^{0.5T}$, so my representation turns into this:



$e^{W(t) - 0.5t} = int_0^t phi(s)dW(s)$



Now, I am going to use Ito on a function $f(x,t) = e^{x - 0.5t}$



$f_x = e^{x - 0.5t}$



$f_{xx} = e^{x - 0.5t}$



$f_t = -0.5e^{x - 0.5t}$



$d(f) = e^{x - 0.5t}dx - 0.5e^{x - 0.5t}dt + 0.5*e^{x - 0.5t}dt = e^{x - 0.5t}dx$



$e^{W(t) - 0.5t} = 1 + int_0^t e^{W(s)-0.5s}dW(s) = int_0^t frac{1}{W(t)} + e^{W(s) - 0.5s}dW(s)$



So my $phi$ is $frac{1}{W(t)} + e^{W(s) - 0.5s}$



I need to check that it is square-integrable, but for some reason I'm confused about the $frac{1}{W(t)}$. Do I treat it as a constant and freely take out of expectation or ... maybe I made a mistake somewhere?
I hope someone can give me a helping hand.

          You already applied Ito's lemma to find

          Therefore, applying conditional expectations to the first equation,

            I think the MGF approach is fine (there might be some minor mistakes in the argument but the basic idea is fine). As for the martingale property, try proving it from first principles. If you are still having trouble, I can spend more time on this in the future.

            Nah, I figured out it already. Thank you very much. The absolute value should be dropped since exponent is always positive. Removes all the complications.

          You already applied Ito's lemma to find
          $$
          e^{W(T)-T/2}=1+int_{0}^{T}e^{W(s)-s/2}dW(s).
          $$
          Next, note that
          begin{multline*}
          mathbb{E}left[int_{0}^{T}e^{W(s)-s/2}dW(s)midmathcal{F}(t)right]=int_{0}^{t}e^{W(s)-s/2}dW(s)+mathbb{E}left[int_{t}^{T}e^{W(s)-s/2}dW(s)midmathcal{F}(t)right]\=int_{0}^{t}e^{W(s)-s/2}dW(s).
          end{multline*}
          Therefore, applying conditional expectations to the first equation,
          $$
          e^{-T/2}M(t)=1+int_{0}^{t}e^{W(s)-s/2}dW(s).
          $$
          Multiplying by $e^{T/2}$ yields the desired result.

            So the answer will be $e^{frac{T - s}{2} + W(s)}$. Man, what a silly oversight by me ... thank you very much. May I ask if the adaptivity and integrability for the martingale property can be explained in a more sensible way? This MGF of an absolute value seems quite non-trivial

          How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

          Image
          3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

          Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

          Image
          0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder. After that added to my html page these dependencies as recommending in readme.md. <link rel="stylesheet" th:href="@{/css/tabulator.min.css}"> <script type="text/javascript" th:src="@{/js/tabulator.min.js}"></script> Now my tables view all elements, that I have in the html page, but not correct. In the documentation of Tabulator is example how to create header and table, var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", { columns:[ {title:"Name", field:"name", sorter:"string", width:200, editor:true}, {title:"Age", field:"age", sorter:"

          Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

          Image
          up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx
