4. (5 marks) Ito calculus. (a) Let X(t) and Y(t) be two stochastic processes, such that dX = ux(X(t), t )dt + ox (X(t), t )dZx dy = my (Y (t), t ) dt + oy (Y (t), t)dZy with Zx (t), Zy(t) being Brownian motions. Let X(t;) = X; and Y(t;) = Y. Show that (Xit1 - Xi)(Yitl - Yi) = XitIYitI - XiYi - Xi( Yit1 - Yi) - Yi(Xit1 - Xi) . Now, using the definition of the Ito integral which is the limit of a discrete sum, show that X(s)dY (s) = [Xy]b - Y(s)dX(s) - /dX(s)dY(s)
