1 An Almost Sure Approximation for the Predictable Process in the Doob Meyer Decomposition heorem Adam Jakubowski Nicolaus Copernicus University, Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, ul. Chopina 2/8, oruń, Poland. Summary. We construct the Doob Meyer decomposition of a submartingale as a pointwise superior limit of decompositions of discrete submartingales suitably built upon discretizations of the original process. his gives, in particular, a direct proof of predictability of the increasing process in the Doob Meyer decomposition. he Doob Meyer heorem he Doob Meyer decomposition theorem opened the way towards the theory of stochastic integration with respect to square integrable martingales and consequently semimartingales, as described in the seminal paper [7]. According to Kallenberg [4], this theorem is the cornerstone of the modern probability theory. It is therefore not surprising that many proofs of it are known. o the author s knowledge, all the proofs heavily depend on a result due to Doléans-Dade [3], which identifies predictable increasing processes with natural increasing processes, as defined by Meyer [6]. In the present paper we develop ideas of another classical paper by K. Murali Rao [8] and construct a sequence of decompositions for which the superior limit is pointwise (in (t, ω)) equal to the desired one, and thus we obtain predictability in the easiest possible way. Let (Ω,F, {F t } t [0, ],P) be a stochastic basis, satisfying the usual conditions, i.e. the filtration {F t } is right-continuous and F 0 contains all P -null sets of F. Let (D) denote the class of measurable processes {X t } t [0, ] such that the family {X τ } is uniformly integrable, where τ runs over all stopping times with respect to {F t } t [0, ]. One of the variants of the Doob Meyer theorem can be formulated as follows.

2 An a.s. approximation in the Doob Meyer theorem 59 heorem. Any submartingale of class (D) admits a unique decomposition X t = M t + A t,where{m t } is a uniformly integrable martingale and {A t } is a predictable increasing process, with A integrable. In discrete time this theorem is trivial: if {X k } k=0,,...,k0 is a submartingale with respect to {F k } k=0,,...,k0,wecanseta 0 =0and k A k = E ( ) X j X j Fj, k =, 2,...,k0. he appealing idea of Murali Rao [8] consists in approximating A t by increasing processes defined by discretizations of X t. Let θ n = {0 =t n 0 <tn <tn 2 <... < tn k n = }, n =, 2,...,bean increasing sequence of partitions of [0,], with max t n k k k tn k 0, n as n. By discretizations {Xt n} t θ n of {X t } t [0, ] we mean the processes defined by Xt n = X t n k if t n k t<t n k+, X n = X. he process X n is a submartingale with respect to the discrete filtration {F t } t θn and by the above discrete scheme we obtain a sequence of right continuous representations where A n t =0 if 0 t<tn, k A n t = E ( ) X t n j X t n j F t n j k n A n = E ( ) X t n j X t n j F t n j. X n t = M n t + A n t, if t n k t<tn k+,k=, 2,...,k n, Since A n t is F t n k -measurable for t n k t<tn k+, the processes An are predictable in the very intuitive manner. he following facts can be extracted from [8]. heorem 2. If {A t } is continuous (equivalently: {X t } is quasi-left continuous, or regular in the former terminology), then for t n= θ n In the general case A n t A t in L. A n t A t weakly in L, t θ n. n=
3 60 Adam Jakubowski he latter statement cannot be improved: by a counterexample due to Dellacherie and Doléans-Dade [2], there exists an increasing integrable process {X t } and a sequence θ n of partitions of [0, ] such that the A n s fail to converge in L to A. By a slight modification of the approximating sequence we can obtain convergence in the strong sense. heorem 3. here exists a subsequence {n j } such that for t n= θ n and as J + ( J ) A nj t A t, a.s. and in L. () J Remark.. In fact, in any subsequence we can find a further good subsequence with the property described in heorem 3. In view of Komlós heorem 4 below, it is natural to say that the sequence {A n } is K-convergent to A. 2. We do not know whether the whole sequence converges in the Cesàro sense. 2 Proof of heorem 3 In order to avoid repetitions of well-known computations, we choose the textbook [4] as a fixed reference and will refer to particular results therein. he preparating steps are standard and are given on pages 43-4 in [4].. If X is a submartingale of class (D), then the family of all random variables of the form {A n τ n },whereτ n is a stopping time taking values in θ n,is uniformly integrable. In particular, sup EA n < +. n 2. We can extract a subsequence {n k } such that A n k α weakly in L.We define M t = E(X α F t ), A t = X t M t. hen we have also A n k (t) A t weakly in L, t θ n. In the main step of proof we use the famous theorem of Komlós [5] (see also [] for the contemporary presentation related to exchangeability). n=
4 An a.s. approximation in the Doob Meyer theorem 6 heorem 4. If ξ,ξ 2,... is a sequence of random variables for which sup E ξ n < +, n then there exists a subsequence {n j } and an integrable random variable ξ such that for every subsequence {n jk } of {n j } we have with probability one, as K +, ξ nj + ξ nj2 + + ξ njk ξ. K By this theorem we can find a subsequence {n kj } {n k } and a random variable α such that ( J ) A n k j α, a.s. J Since A n k α = A weakly in L,theCesàromeans of any subsequence also converge weakly to the same limit and we have α = A. Since the family {A n } is uniformly integrable, the above convergence holds in L as well. Now let us take any t 0 n= θ n, t 0. As before, one can find another subsequence {n kji } {n kj } such that ( I ) A n k ji t I 0 A t0, a.s. and in L. i= By the exceptional subsequence property given in the Komlós theorem we can still claim that ( I ) A n k ji A, a.s. and in L. I i= Repeating these steps for each t 0 n= θ n and then applying the diagonal procedure we find a subsequence fulfilling the requirements of heorem 3. It remains to identify the limit with the unique predictable increasing process given by the Doob Meyer decomposition. his can be done using Rao s result, but given almost sure convergence everything can be done with bare hands: 3 Predictability direct! We shall provide a direct proof of predictability of the process A appearing as the limit in heorem 3. For notational convenience we assume that () holds for the whole sequence A n. We introduce two auxiliary sequences of stochastic processes given by the following formula.
5 62 Adam Jakubowski à n 0 =0, k à n t = E ( ) X t n j X t n Ft n j j B n t = n n à j t. if t n k <t tn k, k =, 2,...,k n, he processes Ãn are adapted to the filtration {F t } t [0, ] and their trajectories are left continuous, hence they are predictable by the very definition of the predictable σ-field. he same holds for the B n. It is sufficient to show that there exists a set E of probability zero such that for every ω/ E and every t [0,] lim sup B n t (ω) =A t(ω). (2) We have for t 0 n= θ n and n large enough à n t 0 (ω) =A n t 0 (ω), hence outside of a set E of probability zero B n t 0 (ω) A t0 (ω). Since n= θ n is dense in [0,], it follows that for ω/ E,ineverypointof continuity of A ( ) (ω) wehave B n t (ω) A t (ω). Moreover, since A is right continuous we have always lim sup B n t (ω) A t (ω). We conclude that (2) can be violated only in points of discontinuity of A. We claim it suffices to prove that for each stopping time τ o see this let us observe that if (3) holds then lim EÃn τ EA τ. (3) E lim sup B n τ EA τ = lim E B n τ E lim sup B n τ, where Fatou s lemma can be applied in the last inequality because B n τ B n A in L. In particular, for every stopping time τ, wehavealmostsurely,
6 An a.s. approximation in the Doob Meyer theorem 63 A τ = lim sup B n τ. Now it is well known (and easy to prove in the case of increasing processes) that there exists a sequence {τ q } of stopping times which exhaust all jumps of A, i.e. P ( A τ > 0) > 0 implies P (τ = τ q ) > 0forsomeq. Foreachq we have A τq = lim sup B τ n q, a.s. Enlarging E by a countable family of P -null sets (one for each τ q ), we obtain asete of P -measure zero (belonging to F 0 due to the usual condition) outside of which (2) holds. In order to prove (3) let us observe that we can write k n à n τ = A n t ni(tn k k <τ tn k ). k= Since τ is a stopping time, the event {t n k <τ tn k } belongs to F t n k.ifwe define ρ n (τ) =0 if τ =0, ρ n (τ) =t n k if t n k <τ tn k, then ρ n (τ) is a stopping time with respect to the discrete filtration {F t } t θn, ρ n (τ) τ, ρ n (τ) τ and à n τ = An ρ n (τ ). By the properties of the (discrete) Doob Meyer decomposition EA n ρ n (τ ) = EXn ρ n (τ ) = EX ρ n (τ ) EX τ = EA τ. We have proved that A is predictable. he proof of its uniqueness is standard (see e.g. Lemma 22. and Proposition 5.2 in [4]) and does not involve advanced tools. References. Aldous, D.J.
