Let \( F \) be an \( n \times m \) matrix of functional Lipschitz operators \( \left( ...
Proof. We recall the method of proof used to show the existence and uniqueness of a solution (Theorem 7). By stopping at a fixed time \( {t}_{0} \), we can assume the Lipschitz process is just a random variable \( K \) which is finite a.s.

Assume further that there exists a sequence of stopping times \( {\left( {T}_{\ell }\right) }_{\ell \geq 1} \) increasing to \( \infty \) a.s. such that \( {\begin{Vmatr...

Proof. We begin by assuming \( E\left\{ {Z}_{t}^{2}\right\} < \infty \), each \( t > 0 \) . Without loss of generality we can further assume \( E\left\{ {Z}_{t}\right\} = 0 \) . Since \( Z \) has independent increments, we know \( Z \) is an \( \mathbb{F} \) martingale. Let \( 0 \leq s < t \leq 1 \) be rationals with \...

Theorem 4. Let \( M \) be an \( \mathbb{F} \) local martingale and suppose \( M \) is a semimartingale in an expanded filtration \( \mathbb{H} \). Then \( M \) is a special semimartingale in \( \mathbb{H} \).
Proof. First recall that any local martingale is a special semimartingale. In particular the process \( {M}_{t}^{ * } = \mathop{\sup }\limits_{{s \leq t}}\left| {M}_{s}\right| \) is locally integrable (see Theorem 33 of Chap. III), and this of course remains locally integrable in the expanded filtration \( \mathbb{H} \...

First assume that \( E\left\{ {{\int }_{0}^{\infty }{H}_{s}^{2}d{\left\lbrack M, M\right\rbrack }_{s}}\right\} < \infty \), which implies that \( H \cdot M \) (where \( H \cdot M \) denotes the stochastic integral process \( {\left( {\int }_{0}^{t}{H}_{s}d{M}_{s}\right) }_{t \geq 0} \) ) is a square integrable m...

Then there exists for each \( t \...
Proof. It suffices to show that the existence of \( {\eta }_{t} \) for each \( t > 0 \) implies the existence of \( \eta \) with the right properties; we will show that the distribution measure of \( L \) is such an \( \eta \) .

Corollary 1 (Independence). Let \( L \) be independent of the filtration \( \mathbb{F} \) . Then every \( \mathbb{F} \) semimartingale is also an \( \mathbb{H}\left( L\right) \) semimartingale.

The distribution of \( L \) is given by \( \eta \left( {dx}\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{i = 1}}^{\infty }P\left( {L = {\alpha }_{i}}\right) {\varepsilon }_{{\alpha }_{i}}\left( {dx}\right) \), where \( {\varepsilon }_{{\...

Indeed, on \( \{ L \leq t\} \), the random variable \( L \) coincides with the end of the set \( \Lambda \cap (\left\lbrack {0, t}\right\rbrack \times \) \( \Omega ) \), which is \( {\mathcal{F}}_{t} \) measurable.\n\nFor the converse we suppose \( ...
