You should also mention that hihi is FtiFti-measurable. Since ii is not a time index, it is not clear what it
means for (hi)(hi) to be adapted. That being said, note that linear combinations of martingales are again
martingales. So then we are done if we just show that whenever s<ts<t
E[hi−1(Bti∧t−Bti−1∧t)∣Fs]=hi−1(Bti∧s−Bti−1∧s)
E[hi−1(Bti∧t−Bti−1∧t)∣Fs]=hi−1(Bti∧s−Bti−1∧s)
=E[hi−1E[(Bti∧t−Bti−1∧t)∣Fti−1]∣Fs]=0
E[hi−1(Bti∧t−Bti−1∧t)∣Fs]=E[E[hi−1(Bti∧t−Bti−1∧t)∣Fti−1]∣Fs]=E[hi−1E[(Bti∧t−Bti−1∧t)∣Fti−1]∣Fs]=0
Remember that a stopped martingale is again a martingale. That is what I use below.
E[hi−1(Bti∧t−Bti−1∧t)∣Fs]=hi−1E[(Bti∧t−Bti−1∧t)∣Fs]=hi−1E[(Btti−Btti−1)∣Fs]
=hi−1(Bsti−Bsti−1)=hi−1(Bti∧s−Bti−1∧s)
E[hi−1(Bti∧t−Bti−1∧t)∣Fs]=hi−1E[(Bti∧t−Bti−1∧t)∣Fs]=hi−1E[(Btit−Bti−1t)∣Fs]
=hi−1(Btis−Bti−1s)=hi−1(Bti∧s−Bti−1∧s)
Denote by
p(t,x):=12πt−−−√exp(−x22t),x∈R,
p(t,x):=12πtexp(−x22t),x∈R,
the density of the normal distribution with mean 00 and variance tt. As you already noted, this function
solves the heat equation, i.e.
∂/∂tp(t,x)=12∂2∂x2p(t,x).
∂∂tp(t,x)=12∂2∂x2p(t,x).
For f∈C2f∈C2 compactly supported it follows easily from the integration-by-parts-formula that
∫p(t,x)12∂2∂x2f(x)dx=∫f(x)∂∂tp(t,x)dx.
(1)(1)∫p(t,x)12∂2∂x2f(x)dx=∫f(x)∂∂tp(t,x)dx.
Therefore,
E(Mft−Mfs∣Fs)=E(f((Wt−Ws)+Ws)∣Fs)−f(Ws)
−1/2∫tsE(f′′((Wr−Ws)+Ws)∣Fs)dr

r=E[f(z+Wt−s)−f(z)−12∫0t−sf″(Wr+z)dr]|z=Ws
(In the last step, we have used that (Wt)t≥0(Wt)t≥0 has stationary increments,
i.e. Wr−Ws∼Wr−sWr−Ws∼Wr−s, and a change of variables.)
Setting φ(x):=f(x+z)φ(x):=f(x+z) for fixed z∈Rz∈R, we therefore conclude that it suffices to show that
E(Mφt−s−Mφ0)=E[φ(Wt−s)−φ(0)−12∫t−s0φ′′(Wr)dr]=0.(2)(2)E(Mt−sφ−M0φ)=E[φ(Wt−s)−φ(0)−12∫0t−sφ″(Wr)

E(Mφu−Mφε)=E(φ(Wu)−φ(Wε)−1/2∫uεφ′′(Wr)dr)=

it follows from the dominated convergence theorem that we can let ϵ→0ϵ→0 and obtain
0=(3)limϵ→0E(Mφu−Mφε)=E(Mφu−Mφ0).0=(3)limϵ→0E(Muφ−Mεφ)=E(Muφ−M0φ).
This proves (2).
Answer to question 3.
Let’s consider that there are 2 points that are not known.
(x0,y0)(x1,y1)
(x0,y0)(x1,y1)
fi(x)=a2x2+a1x+a0
fi(x)=a2x2+a1x+a0
0<i<n0<i<n
i.e. the quadratics intersect at these two unknown points. For each one of the quadratics: I know
the leading coefficient
a2
a2
and a point
(xi,yi)
(xi,yi)
(x0,y0)(x1,y1)
(x0,y0)(x1,y1)
I think that if I know the leading coefficient and a point from four quadratics (n=4) I can define
their intersection.
Is that right?
a2 = y2−(y0+y1−y0x1−x0(x2−x0))/(x2−x0)(x1−x0)
a2=y2−(y0+y1−y0x1−x0(x2−x0))(x2−x0)(x1−x0)
