Let and define the scale function of a one-dimensional diffusionSince is continuous, , andThus is strictly increasing. The Itô formula for the additive-noise equation givesThe integrand is locally square-integrable: a continuous path has compact range on every finite interval, where is bounded. HenceThis is the scale transform for an additive-noise diffusion. Its range is the open interval , which need not be all of .
