Gaussian volatility exponential-quadratic transform

ID: gaussian-volatility-exponential-quadratic-transform

For Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process volatility, matching powers of reduces the transform PDE to a scalar Riccati equation for , a linear equation for and an integral for . All coefficients start at zero. The representation exists up to the Riccati moment-explosion horizon; it need not remain finite on every horizon for arbitrary exponential powers.
