练习

Generalize the proof of Theorem 4.4.1 to show that if is a submartingale and are stopping times with then .

证明

为可预测策略,那么 是下鞅,从而

练习

Suppose are stopping times. If then

is a stopping time.

证明

只要证明 都在 中。

对于 ,由于 .

对于 ,在上面一定有 ,故

其中 ,从而等号右侧 .

练习

Use the stopping times from the previous exercise to strengthen the conclusion of Exercise 4.4.2 to .

证明

是停时知道 是下鞅。

练习

Prove the following variant of the conditional variance formula. If then

练习

Suppose in addition to the conditions introduced above that and let . Exercise 4.2.2 implies that is a martingale. Use this and Theorem 4.4.1 to conclude

练习

The next result gives an extension of Theorem 4.4.2 to . Let be a martingale with and . Show that

Hint: Use the fact that is a submartingale and optimize over .

练习

Let be a submartingale and .

Prove this by carrying out the following steps:
(i) Imitate the proof of 4.4.2 but use the trivial bound for to show

(ii) Use calculus to show .

练习

Let and be martingales with and .

练习

Let , be a martingale and let for . If then a.s. and in .

练习

Continuing with the notation from the previous problem. If and then a.s. In particular, if and then a.s.
