$$B^0(t_k) := \sum_{i=1}^{k-1} a(i)b(i), \quad M^0(t_k) := \sum_{i=1}^{k-1} a(i)\xi(i),$$
τ0(tk):=i=1∑k−1τ(i),Φ0(tk):=i=1∑k−1ϕ(i)
and the corresponding piecewise linear interpolations for $t \in (t_k, t_{k+1})$ are defined as
B0(t):=a^(k)tk+1−tB0(tk)+a^(k)t−tkB0(tk+1),
M0(t):=a^(k)tk+1−tM0(tk)+a^(k)t−tkM0(tk+1),
τ0(t):=a^(k)tk+1−tτ0(tk)+a^(k)t−tkτ0(tk+1),
Φ0(t):=a^(k)tk+1−tϕ0(tk)+a^(k)t−tkϕ0(tk+1).
Using (14), $X^0(t)$ can be written as
X0(t)=a^(k)tk+1−tx(k)+a^(k)t−tk(x(k)+a(k)[−sg(x(k))+ξ(k)+b(k)]+τ(k)+ϕ(k))=x(k)+a^(k)t−tk(a(k)[−sg(x(k))+ξ(k)+b(k)]+τ(k)+ϕ(k))=x(1)+i=1∑k−1(a(i)[−sg(x(i))+b(i)+ξ(i)]+τ(i)+ϕ(i))+a^(k)t−tk(a(k)[−sg(x(k))+ξ(k)+b(k)]+τ(k)+ϕ(k))=x(1)+B0(t)+M0(t)−i=1∑k−1a^(i)sg(x(i))−(t−tk)sg(x(k))+Z0(t)+τ0(t)+Φ0(t)=x(1)+B0(t)+M0(t)+H0(t)+Z0(t)+τ0(t)+Φ0(t),
where
Z0(t)=i=0∑k−1(a^(i)−a(i))sg(x(i))+a^(k)t−tk(a^(i)−a(i))sg(x(k)),
H0(t)=−∫0tsg(xˉ(s))ds,
xˉ(s)=x(k),s∈[tk,tk+1).
Since we are interested in the tail properties of the interpolated process, let us define the time shifted and centered process $X^k(t)$:
Xk(t):=x(k)+Bk(t)+Mk(t)+Hk(t)+Zk(t)+τk(t)+Φk(t),
where
Bk(t)=B0(tk+t)−B0(tk),
