I need to define a new process from for example Wiener process like $U(t)=f(W(t))$, (for example $f(x)=1+x^2$ ) and then calculate the average like $\langle U(t)U(s)\rangle$. Is it possible?

  • $\begingroup$ yes for example simply raising the processes to powers does not work: WienerProcess[]^2 $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 2, 2014 at 13:31

Possibly an overkill for this case but quite general :

define a simple process which returns the variable you want 

procU = ItoProcess[\[DifferentialD]x[t] == \[DifferentialD]w[t], 1 + x[t]^2, {x, 0}, {t, 0}, w \[Distributed] WienerProcess[]] ;

now you can use it as :

Mean[procU[t]] (* 1 + t *) CovarianceFunction[procU, s, t] (* 2 Min[s, t]^2 *)
