For any initial point, rotate its vector through the Brownian angle:This is a nonanticipating function of the prescribed Brownian path and has the required initial value. Equivalently, . The Itô formula gives , whose real and imaginary parts are exactly the equations in part c. Therefore the displayed formula is the strong solution of a stochastic differential equation, and uniqueness from part d makes it the only one.
The Brownian rotation in the plane preserves radius: . Nonzero starting points move around their initial circle, and the origin remains fixed.
