Transformation of SDE in two asset situation.


n the formula ( Change of Brownian motion ) the $\sigma$ and $dW$ are columns and the $\sigma^{T}dW~\ $ are scalar products. We intend to apply the result ( Change of Brownian motion ) to a situation of two assets given by one dimensional correlated diffusion terms. MATH MATH where the expression $dB_{Y,t}^{X}$ stands for $Y$ 's Brownian motion with respect to $X$ taken as numeraire. We assume that MATH for some number MATH . The increments $dB$ are jointly normal. We are seeking a matrix MATH such that MATH where MATH is a column of independent standard Brownian motions.

Observe that the Brownian motions $B$ given by MATH are standard and satisfy the condition MATH Hence, it suffices to set MATH We write MATH MATH The formula ( Change of Brownian motion ) takes the form MATH Therefore, we write SDE for $X_{t}$ , $Y_{t}$ in the $Y$ -measure as follows MATH MATH where the Brownian motions MATH are standard under the measure of numeraire $Y$ and satisfy the relationship MATH
