Theorem (Itô Stochastic Integral on E is a R.C. Martingale)
Let X∈E, let Yt=∫1[0,t]XdMwhere M=(Mt)t≥0 is a right continuous L2-martingale. Then (Yt)t≥0 is a right continuous L2-martingale.
Theorem (Itô Stochastic Integral on Λ is a R.C. Martingale)
Let M be a right continuous L2-martingale. Let X∈Λ2(P,M). ∀t≥0 let Yt=∫1[0,t]XdMThen (Yt)t≥0 is a L2-martingale and hence admits a right continuous version.
Theorem (Independence of Bounded RV)
Let X∈Λ2(P,M), let 0≤s<t, let Z be Fs-measurable and bounded. Then:
- 1(s,t]Z is P-measurable (i.e. predictable)
- 1(s,t]ZX∈L2(R+×Ω,P,μM)
- ∫1(s,t]ZXdM=Z∫1(s,t]XdM a.s.
Proposition (Predictable Stochastic Intervals)
Let τ be a stopping time. Then, the stochastic interval <spanclass="wikilink−unresolved"title="Notenotpublished">0,τ</span>∈P is predictable.
Theorem (Stopping Time Integral)
Let M be a right continuous L2-martingale, let X∈Λ2(P,M), and let (Yt)t≥0 be the stochastic integral process Yt=∫1[0,t]XdMLet τ be a bounded stopping time. Then Yτ=∫1<spanclass="wikilink−unresolved"title="Notenotpublished">0,τ</span>XdM a.s.
