I am not sure if I got this exercise right... I have 2 questions:
- Have I obtained the final result correctly?
- If so, I used Wolfram Alpha to obtain the value of the series, but how else can I obtain ∑n−1k=0kn2=n−12n using my own calculations?
Thanks a lot for your help!
QUESTION:
Let W(t), t∈R+ be a Brownian motion with its natural filtration Ft,t∈R+. Let
H:={h(t):h(t) is an adapted process, E[∫∞0h2(t)dt]<∞}
denote the set of general integrands with respect to W(t).
Consider the stochastic processes
Xn(t):=n−1∑k=0W(kn)1(kn,k+1n](t),t≥0,
for n≥1 and define X(t):=W(t)1[0,1](t),t≥0.
Q) Verify that Xn∈H for all n≥1. (You may use Fubini's theorem without its proof)
ATTEMPT:
We have, using Fubini's theorem,
E∫∞0X2n(t)dt=n−1∑k=0∫k+1nknE(W(kn))2dt=n−1∑k=0kn∫k+1nkn1dt=n−1∑k=0kn[t]k+1nkn=n−1∑k=0kn(1n)=n−1∑k=0kn2=n−12n<∞
