Fix and define for . The assumed smooth extension and the Neumann boundary condition at zero make a function. The heat equation givesThe Itô formula therefore makes a local martingale. Stop first when leaves a large compact interval. The exponential growth bound and the finite exponential moments of the maximum of Brownian motion on give uniform integrability, so localization and the dominated convergence theorem yieldThis is the Feynman-Kac formula for the Neumann heat problem.
