Elementary Feynman-Kac question

April 4th, 2008, 6:02 pm

I don't understand some parts of example 5.7 on pages 70~71 of Björk's book. I guess this stuff is very very basic. So here it goes:Giveni get.Then Björk saysWhy is that?Also, finally Björk writesWhy? and finallywhere I also don't really see where that's coming from.Well, maybe you guys can help me. Thanks a lot!!
