# Solving a Stratonovich SDE

I am trying to solve the following Stratonovich SDE $$dN_t=rN_tdt+\gamma N_t\circ dB_t$$ In my notes, the Stratonovich integral is defined as $$\int^t_0 N_s\circ dB_s=\int^t_0 N_sdB_s+\frac{1}{2}\langle N,B\rangle_t$$ Which I used to put the Stratonovich SDE into an Itô representation. This yielded $$dN_t=rN_tdt+\gamma N_t dB_t+\frac{1}{2}d\langle N,B\rangle_t$$ However, from here on out I'm not sure how to proceed. I tried using Itô's lemma on the function $$f(x)=\log(x)$$, just like I would for a GBM, but this didn't give any results. What is the right approach here?

I'm supposed to end up with the solution $$N_t=N_0e^{rt+\gamma B_t}$$

Which looks very similar to the solution of a GBM, in fact there's just a single term missing which contains the quadratic variation of a Brownian motion, hence why I tried to solve it in similar fashion.

Any help is appreciated!

Any Stratonovich process with $$f$$ and $$\sigma$$ verifying the usual conditions: $$$$dN_t = f(t,N_t)dt + \sigma(t, N_t)\circ dB_t$$$$ has equivalent Ito process with identical solution, which is given by: $$$$dN_t = f(t,N_t)dt + \sigma(t,N_t)dB_t + \frac12\frac{\partial \sigma}{\partial x}(t, N_t) \sigma(t, N_t)dt$$$$
Therefore, applying the previous equation in our case with $$f(t,N_t) = rN_t$$ and $$\sigma(t,N_t) = \gamma N_t$$. We have $$$$dN_t = rN_tdt + \gamma N_tdB_t + \frac12\gamma^2 N_tdt$$$$ Now you have the "correct" SDE with which you can apply the Ito formula to $$f(x) = \log(x)$$.
