Determine the covariance functions for the stochastic processes (a) U(t) = e^{-t}B(e^{2t}), for t ? 0. (b) V(t) = (1 - t)B(t/(1 - t)), for 0 < t < 1. (c) W(t) = tB(1/t), with W(0) = 0. B(t) is standard Brownian motion.

Step 1

(a) For the process U(t) = e^(-B(e^2)), the covariance function is given by: Cov[U(t), U(s)] = E[U(t)U(s)] - E[U(t)]E[U(s)] Since B(t) is a standard Brownian motion, E[B(t)] = 0. Show more…

Determine the covariance functions for the stochastic processes (a) U(t) = e^-t B(e^2t), for t >= 0. (b) V(t) = (1 - t)B(t / (1 - t)), for 0 < t < 1. (c) W(t) = tB(1/t), with W(0) = 0. B(t) is standard Brownian motion.
