Help on calculating an integral

May 8th, 2006, 12:59 pm

Hi,I was wondering if some one can help me with evaluating the following integral (sorry, our firm doesn't allow using the equation editor)\int_{t_0}^T{\int_{t_0}^t{w_uw_s dsdu}}where the two w's are correlated.Thanks

Help on calculating an integral

Lucetios,It seems to me that we could find the expection of the integral. To make it simpler, if you take t_0=0, and t=T, you may find E(\int_0^T \int_0^T {w_u w_s} dsdu) = T^3/3.Hope this helps.

Thanks qxiaking,I have made a BIG mistake typing the integral. it is actually,\int_{t_0}^T{\int_{t_0}^t{dw_u dw_s }}I hope you forgive me and give it another try.ThanksL.
