Re: How to derive this step in the Ito integral?

In the derivation of the Ito integral, given W the Wiener process, a
critical step is:


E[(w(i+1)-w(i))^4]=3(t(i+1)-t(i))^2



What is there critical? w(i+1)-w(i) is a zero-mean normal random variable with variance
t(i+1)-t(i). What is the relation between the variance and the fourth moment of a zero-mean
normal random variable?
