Localization of localizations of previsible processes is a localized process from Rogers Wiliams

34 Views Asked by At

Below is an exercise and hint from Rogers and Williams' Diffusions, Markov Processes, and Martingales Volume 2.

Here, we are trying to show that if $H$ is a previsible process in $l(l(\mathscr{H}))$ then $H \in l(\mathscr{H})$. To complete the proof from the hint, we need to show that $H(0,T_n] \in \mathscr{H}$, that is $H(0,T_n] \in \mathscr{H}$.

My questions are: How do we show that $T_n$ is a stopping time increasing to $\infty$ a.s., and how do we show that $H(0,T_n] \in \mathscr{H}$? I can't figure out how to use the probability inequality to prove this. I would greatly appreciate any help.

$\{T_n< t\} =\cup_{r=n}^\infty\{V_{r,k(r)}<t\}$, which shows that $T_n$ is a stopping time, provided the filtration is right continuous.

It should be clear the $\{T_n\}$ is an increasing sequence. By Borel-Cantelli, $V_{r,k(r)}>U_r-2^{-r}$ for all large $r$, a.s. Therefore $T_n\ge U_n-2^{-n}$ for all large $n$, a.s., and so $\lim_n T_n=\infty$ a.s.

Now $H(0,V_{r,k(r)}]\in\mathscr H$ for each $r\ge n$, and from the definition of $T_n$ you have $(0,T_n] =\cap_{r\ge n}(0,V_{r,k(r)}]\subset (0,V_{n,k(n)}]$. Consequently, $H(0,T_n]=H\cdot1_{(0,T_n]}=(H\cdot1_{(0,V_{n,k(n)}]})\cdot1_{(0,T_n]}$, and this latter process is in $\mathscr H$ because $H\cdot 1_{(0,V_{n,k(n)}]}\in\mathscr H$ and $T_n$ is a stopping time.
