compo process construction

<t>Hi, everybody.Suppose, we have two dependent processes:underlying - dS(t) = r_s(t)*S(t)*dt + sigma_S*S(t)*dW(t)forex - dFX(t) = [r_p(t) - r_s(t)] * FX(t)*dt + sigma_FX*FX(t)*dW(t),where FX is a number of currency P(payout ccy) per unit of currency S(underlying ccy). Note, that the processes are d...
