Use the Itô product rule with the deterministic factor . Its quadratic covariation with is zero, givingMultiplication by the integrating factor solves the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic differential equation:The initial value is standard normal and independent of the future driving Brownian motion. Thus is a centered Gaussian process with variance one. For , its independent future noise gives . Its Gaussian finite-dimensional distributions consequently depend only on time differences, so it is a stationary process. This verifies the exponential Brownian time change to a stationary Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process directly.
