Is a continuous function of (integrable) Brownian motion always integrable?












0












$begingroup$


Let $Z_{t}=e^{-W(t)}$ with ${W(t):tgeq0}$ a Brownian motion. Is $Z_{t}$ integrable, since it is a continuous function of Brownian motion? Furthermore, are all continuous functions of Brownian motion integrable, since Bownian motion itself is integrable?

    Do you meant the integrability in $t$? Then yes, any continuous function is (locally) integrable.

    Yes, for a fixed $t$. So, my question: is the expectation of a continuous function of Brownian motion always finite implying that this function is integrable?

Continuous functions of integrable functions need not be intergable. In this case we can use the fact that if $X$ is normally distributed then $Ee^{cX}$ is integrable for any constant $c$. In fact $Ee^{cX}=e^{cmu} e^{sigma^{2}c^{2}/2}$ where $mu$ is the mean and $sigma^{2}$ the variance.

    $e^{-W_t}$ is integrable: $Ee^{-W_t}=e^{frac{1}{2}t}$.



    Other continuous functions of $W_t$ need not be integrable. For example, $e^{W_1^2}$.
