Mar 30, 2013 at 5:42 comment added user32630 I think it's related to the expectation of the time integral of wiener process. I'm curious to use the first approach to find its variance. I'm the beginner in stochastic calculus.

Oct 14, 2010 at 14:49 comment added Nate Eldredge @Cosmonut: The distribution of the running maximum is computed in section 2.8A of Karatzas and Shreve's Brownian Motion and Stochastic Calculus. Though as my answer mentions, you don't really need it here.

Oct 14, 2010 at 7:14 comment added Cosmonut Martingales are in L1 ------------- So Fubini Thm goes through. Ok, many thanks.
Oct 14, 2010 at 6:34 comment added zhoraster More appropriate for math.stackexchange.com
Oct 14, 2010 at 6:32 comment added zhoraster Does not seem to be MO level question.
Oct 14, 2010 at 5:34 comment added Steve Huntsman Martingales are in $L^1$.
Oct 14, 2010 at 4:04 comment added Cosmonut If I have the distribution of Max{|W_s|:0<s<T}, I could try showing that its expectation if finite. This would let me validate both the approaches. If someone has a reference where this is calculated, please let me know.
Oct 14, 2010 at 3:56 comment added Cosmonut If BM is a martingale, why should its time integral have zero mean ? (Although, yes, both approaches will give me an answer of 0). Also, the problems with the approaches I mentioned are valid for questions like calculating E(\Int_0_T {W_s^2 ds})
Oct 14, 2010 at 3:28 comment added Steve Huntsman Brownian motion is a martingale (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_%28probability_theory%29); the expectation you want is always zero. Also voting to close as this would be better suited to another site mentioned in the FAQ.
