I have a question regarding the Ornstein -Uhlenbeck process. We have a simplified version with Stochastic Integral Equation: $X_t=-aint^t_0 X_s,ds +B_t$. B is the Brownian motion.



And its analytic solution is $X_t=e^-atint^t_0 e^as,dB_s$.



How do I prove that this is the case? I know that $e^-at=-aint^t_0 e^-as,ds$ and that I'm somehow supposed to make use of this result but I am still unable to get from the analytic solution to the integral equation.



Thanks!

  • If you want to check if solution is correct, why not apply Ito formula? In the case you wonder how the analytic solution was obtained from the integral equation - that's a bit more elaborate.

  • Could you elaborate on how to apply Ito's formula? Sorry I'm not very good with this subject. I know that Ito formula is $f(B_t)-f(B_0)=int^t_0 f'(B_u),dB_u+1/2int^t_0 f''(B_u),du$ but I don't know what function should f(x) be.

  • No, its in my lecture notes. I just can't understand that bit.

The Ito formula, for $mathrmd X_t = - a X_t mathrmd t + mathrmd B_t$, you need is:
$$
mathrmdleft( f(t, X_t) right) =
left( partial_t f(t,X_t) - a X_t partial_x f(t,X_t) + frac12 partial_xx f(t,X_t) right) mathrmd t +
left( partial_x f(t,X_t) right) mathrmd B_t
$$



HINT: use $f(t,X_t) = mathrme^a t X_t$.



Edit 9/8/2018: Added $X_t$ to formula
