Let (X_{t}, t geq 0), be defined as [X_{t}=left{B_{t} mid B_{t} geq 0 ight}, quad forall t>0]

Question:

Let \(X_{t}, t \geq 0\), be defined as

\[X_{t}=\left\{B_{t} \mid B_{t} \geq 0\right\}, \quad \forall t>0\]

that is, the process has the paths of the Brownian motion conditioned by the current value being positive.

(a) Show that the pdf of \(X_{t}\) is

\[f_{X_{t}}(x)=2 f_{B_{t}}(x), \forall x \geq 0\]

(b) Calculate \(\mathbf{E}\left[X_{t}\right]\) and \(V\left(X_{t}\right)\).

(c) Is \(X_{t}\) a Gaussian process?

(d) Is \(X_{t}\) stationary?

(e) Are \(X_{t}\) and \(\left|B_{t}\right|\) identically distributed?
