How to linearize nonlinear stochastic differential equation [closed]
I need to linearize this stochastic differential equation:$dX(t)=X(t)(1-X^{2}(t))dt+X(t)dBt$so i can calculate $EX(t), EX^{2}(t), EX^{3}(t)$Pleas help me :)
View ArticleUpper bound for the expectation of a random variable times an indicator function
Suppose we have a random variable $X$. Is there any way of deriving an upper bound of the following expectation:$$E[X * \mathbf{1}_{X\ge x_0}],$$where $\mathbf{1}_{()}$ is an 0-1 indicator function,...

My intuition says no, but I couldn't propose a clean counterexample:for example, for any binary r.v. $P[X = a] = p, P[X = b] = 1 - p$ where $a, b > 0$, I found that$$E[X^3] - E[X]E[X^2] = p(1 - p)(a...
