Feb 22, 2011 at 12:34 comment added Did @vinay For $x\ne0$ and $t>0$, let $p_t(x,\cdot)$ denote the Gaussian distribution with mean $x$ and variance $t$ and $p_t(0,\cdot)$ denote the Dirac measure at $0$. For every $x$, let $p_0(x,\cdot)$ denote the Dirac measure at $x$. Then, for every bounded measurable $\varphi$, initial distribution $\nu$ and times $0=t_0\le t_1\le \cdots\le t_n$, $E_\nu[\varphi(X(t_0),X(t_1),\ldots,X(t_n))]$ is the integral you know, involving $\varphi$, $\nu$ and the semi-group $(p_t)_{t\ge0}$. QED. In fact, a good way to understand this example is to try to prove that $(p_t)_{t\ge0}$ is indeed a semi-group.
Feb 22, 2011 at 12:14 comment added user13166 I did not quite get the first answer(the one using Brownian Motion). If the process starts at x(not equal to 0), the distribution of X(0) is delta(x) and transition kernels are that of brownian motion and if x = 0 then distribution of x(0) is delta(0) and transition kernels according as a constant stochastic process. How do we mix the 2 processes? Sorry if I am missing something silly.
