Notes

  1. 1.

    We know that \( {d\left (\int _0^t f(t,u)du\right ) = f(t,t)dt + \int _0^t df(t,u)du}\) for any smooth function f(t, u). Actually, \( {d\left (\int _0^t f(t,u)du\right ) = \lim\limits _{\varDelta t\rightarrow 0} \left [ \int _0^{t+\varDelta t} f(t+\varDelta t,u)du - \int _0^t f(t,u)du \right ] = \lim\limits _{\varDelta t\rightarrow 0} \left [ \int _t^{t+\varDelta t}\right .}\) \( {\left . f(t+\varDelta t,u)du + \int _0^t f(t+\varDelta t,u)du - \int _0^t f(t,u)du \right ] = f(t,t)dt + \int _0^t df(t,u)du}\). Similarly, we have \( {d\left (\int _0^t f(t,u)dW_u\right ) = f(t,t)dW_t + \int _0^t df(t,u)dW_u}\).
