Compute $E(M_σ)$ when $σ = inf(t ≥ 0: |B_t| = 1)$ and $M_t = 4B^2_t +e^{4B_t−8t}−4t$

$begingroup$



Given $M_t = 4B^2_t +e^{4B_t−8t}−4t$ for $t ≥ 0$ and a Brownian motion $(B_t)_{t geq 0}$. Compute $E(M_σ)$ when $σ = inf(t ≥ 0: |B_t| = 1)$.




I have tried to show that $E|M_σ|leq K$ to apply Doob's Optional Sampling Theorem, thus $E(M_σ)=E(M_0)=1$, but my I am unsure how to explain the reasoning.



So far I've got $$E|M_σ|=E|M_{twedgeσ}|=E|4B_{twedgeσ}^2+e^{4B_{twedgeσ}-8{twedgeσ}}-8t|leq E|4B_{twedgeσ}^2+e^{4B_{twedgeσ}-8{twedgeσ}}|,$$ but don't know how to proceed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note that $M_t = X_t+Y_t$ with $$X_t := 4(B_t^2-t) qquad Y_t := e^{4B_t-8t}.$$ In particular, $mathbb{E}(M_{sigma}) = mathbb{E}(X_{sigma})+mathbb{E}(Y_{sigma})$, and therefore it suffices to calculate $mathbb{E}(X_{sigma})$ and $mathbb{E}(Y_{sigma})$.



Calculation of $mathbb{E}(X_{sigma})$:




  1. Check (or recall) that $(X_t)_{t geq 0}$ is a martingale.

  2. Apply the optional stopping theorem to show that $$mathbb{E}(X_{t wedge sigma})=0,$$ i.e. $$mathbb{E}(B_{t wedge sigma}^2) = mathbb{E}(t wedge sigma).$$

  3. Show that $|B_{t wedge sigma}| leq 1$ for all $t geq 0$.

  4. Use the dominated convergence theorem and the monotone convergence theorem to deduce from Step 2&3 that $$mathbb{E}(B_{sigma}^2) = mathbb{E}(sigma),$$ i.e. $$mathbb{E}(X_{sigma})=0.$$


Calculation of $mathbb{E}(Y_{sigma})$:




  1. Check that $(Y_t)_{t geq 0}$ is a martingale.

  2. Apply the optional stopping theorem to show that $mathbb{E}(Y_{t wedge sigma})=1$ for all $t geq 0$.

  3. Conclude from $|B_{t wedge sigma}| leq 1$ that $|Y_{t wedge sigma}| leq e^{4}$ for all $t geq 0$.

  4. Apply the dominated convergence theorem to deduce from Step 2& 3 that $mathbb{E}(Y_{sigma})=1$.
