How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Pathwise identity for bounded predictable counting-process integrals
Statement
Under Simple counting-process intensity and compensator contract, for every nonnegative predictable , For every bounded real predictable , the L²-completed stochastic integral equals the pathwise finite-variation expression almost surely: The identity holds at every fixed terminal time and coordinatewise for vector or matrix integrands. No left continuity of is assumed.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The finite-horizon square-integrable counting-process contract, , continuous predictable , and ; is nonnegative predictable and is bounded predictable.
Simple counting-process intensity and compensator contract: is a square-integrable martingale, has finitely many unit jumps, and is continuous with finite expectation.
Progressively measurable and predictable processes: time-zero sets and rectangles , , generate the predictable sigma-algebra and, with the whole space, form a pi-system.
Dynkin's pi-lambda theorem: two finite measures agreeing on a generating pi-system and the whole space agree on its generated sigma-algebra.
Monotone convergence for the integral: nonnegative increasing integrals converge to the integral of the limit.
Predictable step processes are dense for the compensator L² norm: bounded predictable steps are dense for .
Elementary predictable integral against a counting-process martingale: a step integral is the finite sum of measurable coefficients times increments of .
L² extension of the predictable counting-process integral: step approximation in compensator L² gives the unique completed integral and its isometry.
Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for : on every measure space, for square-integrable .
AC is inherited through the martingale and density interfaces. The Axiom of Choice
Proof
The martingale property gives . For a predictable set , define and . Measurability of the section integrals holds first for the generators in [F2] (their integrals are and ), then for all predictable sets: the sets with measurable section integrals form a lambda-system, using subtraction from finite terminal masses and increasing partial sums for disjoint unions. Apply [F3] to this generating pi-system. Pathwise countable additivity and [F4] now make finite measures. For an interval generator, by the martingale property, so their masses agree; time-zero masses are both zero and whole-space masses agree. [F3] gives . Simple functions and [F4] yield the compensation identity for every nonnegative predictable .
By [F5] choose bounded predictable steps with . Step 1.1 and [F8] give For steps, [F6] identifies the integral with the difference of its pathwise and integrals. The displayed bound makes those differences converge in L¹ to the stated pathwise expression. By [F7] the same step integrals converge in L², hence L¹ on the probability space, to the completed stochastic integral. Uniqueness of L¹ limits proves equality almost surely. Apply this argument separately to each fixed terminal time and each of the finitely many coordinates.
Source notes
Bass uses a predictable monotone-class argument for finite-variation jump integrals and defines stochastic integrals by step approximation in L². The local proof above supplies the compensation measure and the L¹ identification needed for arbitrary bounded predictable Cox covariates; it does not import a semimartingale existence theorem.
