I need help with Ito's Integral?

1. Integral of sin(Bs) dBs from T to 0

2. Integral of 1/(Bs^2+ Bs^4) dBs from T to 1

    1)

    You are using Bs to denote one letter. I have assumed T is the upper limit and 0 is the lower limit.

    Let u= Bs

    du = dBs

    ∫ sin(Bs) dBs = ∫ sin(u) du = -cos(u)

    = -cos(Bs)

    Let F(Bs) = -cos(Bs)

    substitute the upper limit T

    F(T) = -cos(T)

    substitute the lower limit 0

    F(0) = -cos(0) = -1

    F(T)-F(0) = -cos(T) - (-1) = 1 -cos(T)

    2)

    I have assumed T is the upper limit and 1 is the lower limit

    Write this as:

    ∫ dx / (x^2+x^4) where x= Bs

    = ∫ dx / x^2(1+x^2)

    decompose into partial fractions

    1/ x^2(1+x^2) = A/x + B/x^2 + (Cx+D)/(1+x^2)

    multiply both sides by x^2(1+x^2)

    1 = Ax (1+x^2) + B(1+x^2) + (Cx+D)x^2

    Equate the coefficient of x^3 from both sides

    0 = A + C

    A = -C

    Equate the coefficient of x^2 from both sides

    0 = B+D

    B = -D

    Equate the coefficient of x from both sides

    0 = A

    C = 0

    Equate the constant terms from both sides

    1 = B

    D = 1

    A=0; B=1; C=0; D=1

    1/ x^2(1+x^2) = A/x + B/x^2 + (Cx+D)/(1+x^2)

    ∫ 1/ x^2(1+x^2) dx = 1 ∫ dx /x^2 + 1∫ dx /(1+x^2)

    = -1/x + tan^-1(x)

    replace x by Bs

    = -1/ Bs + tan^-1( Bs)

    ∫ dx / (Bs^2+Bs^4) = - 1/Bs + tan^-1( Bs)

    Let F(Bs) = - 1/Bs + tan^-1( Bs)

    substitute the upper limit T

    F(T) = -1/ T + tan^-1(T)

    substitute the lower limit 1

    F(1) = -1 + tan^-1(1)

    F(T)-F(1) = -1/ T + tan^-1(T) +1 - tan^-1(1)

    = -1/ T + tan^-1(T) +1 - pi/4

    I'm assuming Bs is a Brownian motion with B0 = 0. More information about Bs is needed for computing the indefinite integral in the second part.

    I'll calculate the first integral. Let f(x) = -cos x. By Ito's formula,

    f(BT) - f(B0) = ∫[0,T] f'(Bs) dBs + 1/2 ∫[0,T] f"(Bs) ds,

    1 - cos BT = ∫[0,T] sin Bs dBs + 1/2 ∫[0,T] cos Bs ds.

    Therefore

    ∫[0,T] sin Bs dBs

    = 1 - cos BT - (1/2) ∫[0,T] cos Bs ds.

  • I'm gonna call this a different variable

    Bs = x

    sin(x) * dx

    The integral of that is -cos(x) + C

    -cos(0) - (-cos(T)) =>

    -1 + cos(T) =>

    cos(T) - 1

    dt / (t^2 + t^4) =>

    dt / (t^2 * (1 + t^2))

    A/t + B/t^2 + (Ct + D) / (1 + t^2)

    A * t * (1 + t^2) + B * (1 + t^2) + (Ct + D) * t^2 = 1

    At^3 + At + Bt^2 + B + Ct^3 + Dt^2 = 0t^3 + 0t^2 + 0t + 1

    A + C = 0

    B + D = 0

    A = 0

    B = 1

    A + C = 0

    0 + C = 0

    C = 0

    B + D = 0

    1 + D = 0

    D = -1

    dt/t^2 - dt/(1 + t^2)

    tan(u) = t

    sec(u)^2 * du = dt

    dt / t^2 - sec(u)^2 * du / (1 + tan(u)^2)

    dt / t^2 - sec(u)^2 * du / sec(u)^2 =>

    dt / t^2 - du

    Integrate

    -1/t - u + C =>

    -1/t - arctan(t) + C

    From T to 1

    -1/1 - arctan(1) + 1/T + arctan(T)

    -1 - pi/4 + 1/T + arctan(T)

    1/T + arctan(T) - (4 + pi) / 4

    1.)

    Integrates to -cos(Bs), and evaluating this from T to 0, you get -1 + cos(T).

    2.)

    Re-write 1/(Bs^2 + Bs^4) as 1/(Bs^2(1 + Bs^2)) = (Bs^2 + 1 - Bs^2)/(Bs^2(1 + Bs^2))

    = 1/(Bs^2) - 1/(1 + Bs^2)

    Integrating, we get -1/(Bs) - arctan(Bs) eval. from T to 1

    = -1 - pi/4 + 1/T + arctan(T)
