Question: In general, $Z_t := \exp(\int_0^t \phi_s dBs - \frac{1}{2}\int_0^t\phi_s^2ds)$ is the exponential martingale. Is $Z_t := \exp(-\int_0^t \phi_s dBs - \frac{1}{2}\int_0^t\phi_s^2ds)$ also an exponential martingale? Origin: Let $(B_t)_{t \geq 0}$ be abrownian motion starting at $x>0$. Let $T_a := \inf\...
Consider a discrete stochastic process $\{X_t\}_{t \in T}$ with the following properties. Each $t \in T$ has a value $v(t) \in \mathbb{R}_{+}$ and the value is added to the overall value conditioned on some event $\mathbb{1}_t = 1$; that is, $X_t = v(t) \cdot \mathbb{1}_t$. In addition, for every $t \in T$ the expected...
I am reading complex analysis by Gamelin and I am having trouble understanding the square root function. The principal branch of $\sqrt{z}$ ( $f_1(z)$ ) is defined as $|z|^{\frac 1 2} e^{\frac{i \operatorname{Arg}(z)}{2}}$ for $z \in \mathbb{C} - (-\infty,0]$ and $f_2(z)$ is defined as $-f_1(z)$ By this defin...
Given a circle $C$ of radius $1$ around the origin, I want to determine the locus of the centers of all circles that touch $C$ and the $x$-axis. This is the red curve in the following [Desmos plot](https://www.desmos.com/calculator/e8upuzdtke), where the blue circle touches $C$ and the $x$-axis: [![enter image des...
Why is the partial derivative of the generalized momentum with respect to generalized position equal to zero?
The radius of a blue circle is $y$. The distance between the centers is $1-y$ (do you see why?). Therefore, $x^2 + y^2 = (1-y)^2$.
What you are asking for is the [expected value][1] of the number of balls in a crate. It's essentially an average of all the possibilities weighted by their probabilities. The expected value is calculated by multiplying the outcomes by the probability of each outcome. For example, consider finding the expected v...

Let $r = \frac {w- (a+c)}{(b+d)-(a+c)}$. Thats the "some proportion". Note: $0 \le r \le 1$. Let $x = a + r\times (b-a...

Let us assume $A' \subset A$ and $f\colon A \to A‘$ is bijective (so $A$ is an infinite set according to Dedekind‘s definition). Let us further assume $h: A \to B$ is bijective. I want to prove that $B$ is also an infinite set. There is a proof that goes like this: We assume further $g = h \circ f \circ h^{-1} \c...
If $F,G: I \rightarrow Z$ are closed path at $z \in Z$, where Z is a topological space. Why is $F \cdot G: I \rightarrow Z$ a closed path? This does not appear to make sense to me considering my idea of a closed path. Which is unfortunately undefined in my textbook. Introduction to Topology by Bert Mendelson. My...
