GARCH models are essentially white noise models with some time dependency. The reason GARCH models are used is because they have a lot of nice properties. The main being that the Conditional Volatility is time-dependent. This means that volatility can cluster. It's true that conditional vol will regress towards "normality" as a random walk process with ...

You can see fairly quickly that an exact answer to this question is not going to be feasible because your functional transformation is to take the square root of $\sigma_t^2$, and the square root function has a countably infinite number of derivatives. This implies that a Taylor expansion is going to leave us with a countably infinite number of terms, most ...

"conditional volatilities from GARCH models are not stochastic since at time $t$ the volatility is completely pre-determined (deterministic) given previous values"-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_volatility $\sigma_t$ is still a random variable in the sense that it has an unconditional distribution. However, this unconditional distribution is not ...
