- The purpose of this problem is to solve the following PDE using a numerical simulation. { af (t, x) + (1 − x)= - Ət af 10²ƒ + მე 2 მე2 = 0 f(ln(2), x) = ex (a) The equation above corresponds to a Feynman-Kac formula. Identify the stochastic process (X)20 and the expectation that would correspond to f(t, x) explicitly. (b) Use a numerical simulation of (X+) above to approximate the values of f(0, x) at 20 discrete points for x, uniformly spaced in the interval [0,2]. Submit a graph of your solution. (c) How would you proceed to estimate the function f(0.1, x). (Briefly explain your method, you do not need to do it.) Extra question: You can explicitly determine the function in (b) (either as a conditional expectation or by solving the PDE). Compare the theoretical answer to your solution.arrow_forwardWrite p(x) = 6+11x+6x² as a linear combination of ƒ (x) = 2+x+4x² and g(x) = 1−x+3x² and h(x)=3+2x+5x²arrow_forward3.
