Stochastic integral of local martingales is an extension

70 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to prove that the stochastic integral defined for the set of square integrable local martingales is really an extension of ordinary stochastic integral. Define

$\mathcal{H}=\{(H_t)_{0\leq t\leq T}:H_t\,\, \text{adapted to}\,\,\mathcal{F}_t, E(\int_0^TH_s^2ds)<\infty\}$. And denote the stochastic integral by $J(H)_t$ for $H\in\mathcal{H}$.

Now $\tilde{\mathcal{H}}=\{(H_t)_{0\leq t\leq T}:H_t\,\, \text{adapted to}\,\,\mathcal{F}_t, \int_0^TH_s^2ds<\infty\,\,a.s.\}$.

Then my book says that there exists a unique linear map $\tilde{J}$ from $\tilde{\mathcal{H}}$ to the vector space of continuous processes defined on $[0,T]$ such that:

  1. If $H$ is a simple process $\tilde{J}(H)_t=J(H)_t$ for all $t\in[0,T]$ and $P$-a.s.

  2. If $(H_n)\subset \tilde{\mathcal{H}}$ such that $\int_0^T(H_s^n)^2ds$ converges to 0 in probability, then $\sup_{0\leq t\leq T}|\tilde{J}(H^n)(t)|$ converges to 0 in probability.

I want to show that for $H\in\mathcal H$, $\tilde{J}(H)_t=J(H)_t$ almost surely so that $\tilde{J}$ is really an extension. I tried to solve this by choosing the approximating simple process $H^n\in \mathcal{H}$, but I'm stuck in applying the second property of $\tilde{J}$.
