Partial Differential Equations : Wiener Process

Please see the attached file for the fully formatted problems.
1) Suppose: dS = a(S,t)dt + b(S,t)dX,

where dX is a Wiener process. Let f be a function of S and t.
Show that:
df =  dS + (  +  b2  )dt.
2) Suppose that S satisfies

dS = μSdt + σSdX,  0 ≤ S < ∞,

where μ ≥ 0, σ > 0, and dX is a Wiener process. Let

ξ =  ,

where Pm is a positive constant and the range of ξ is [0,1), if 0 ≤ S < ∞. The stochastic differential equation for ξ is in the form:

d ξ = a(ξ)dt + b(ξ)dX.

Find the concrete expressions for a(ξ) and b(ξ) by Ito's lemma and show:

{a(0) = 0, and {a(1) = 0,
{b(0) = 0, and {b(1) = 0.
