Expectation of Ito Process

1.3k Views Asked by At

Suppose $X$ is an Ito process defined by $ dX = adt + b_tdB$ and $X_0 = 0$ where $B$ is a Brownian motion. Ito process consists of two parts: one is deterministic and the other is random. Is the expectation only decided by the deterministic part, i.e. $E(X_t)=at$ ? And why? More generally, if $ dX = a_tdt + b_tdB$, is $E(X_t) = \int_0^ta_sds$ ?
