The nonnegative series in part (b) has independent squared-standard-normal terms. If is standard normal, direct Gaussian integration gives for . Consequently, by independence and dominated convergence applied to the exponentials of increasing partial sums,Use the permitted product identity with . The answer isThis Laplace transform of the integrated square of Brownian motion equals at zero. Its first derivative there gives mean , in agreement with .
