1) Suppose: dS = a(S,t)dt + b(S,t)dX,

where dX is a Wiener process. Let f be a function of S and t.
Show that:
(see the attached file for equations)
2) Suppose that S satisfies

(see the attached file for equations)

where u >=0, signa> 0, and dX is a Wiener process. Let

Xi = S/(S + Pm)

where Pm is a positive constant and the range of &#958; is [0,1), if 0 &#8804; S < &#8734;. The stochastic differential equation for &#958; is in the form:

d(Xi)= a(Xi)dt + b(Xi)dX.

Find the concrete expressions for a(Xi) and b(Xi) by Ito's lemma and show:

{a(0) = 0, and {a(1) = 0,
{b(0) = 0, and {b(1) = 0.
