So, when you integrate the function over a domaine x>0, x<z (x-y=z, y<0) you get 1/8 of the integral over the whole plane.Another way to see the result is to see that events W(1)>0, W(2)-W(1)<0 and abs(W(1))<abs(W(2)-W(1))...

Hi Vassil,check it once again, the integrals are correct. The secondterm stands for the transitional probability from x to y,and y should be integrated from -inf to 0. I thinkErge got the point, really good solution.

Great!What about another one:(x-y)*dy = (x+y)*dxi.e.x*dy - y*dx = x*dx + y*dy
