how to construct a square-integrable martingale by using standard stopping time argument?

409 Views Asked by At

I was reading a paper and the author said one can use the standard stopping time argument to show that the martingale is a square-integrable martingale. What does it mean? It is a paper talking about the solution of equation(2.1). enter image description here

enter image description here Condition (4.a) and the operator A is defined as below enter image description here By the assumptions of the parameters, the part surrounded by a blue square is exactly $\int_0^t Af(x(s))ds$ in (4.4). So the question is how we make out a square-integrable martingale from the assumption of merely "martingale" in the condition. I searched the "standard stopping time argument" and find one related result which construct uniformly L1 from bounded L1. Is it helpful to my situation? enter image description here enter image description here Many thanks!

I guess "standard stopping time argument" should be some very common and popular method like Dykin-system. But I do not know about it.
