Dyadic slope martingale

ID: dyadic-slope-martingale

For a real continuous function on , let be its secant slope on each length- dyadic cell. Regard as a probability space and use the filtration of half-open dyadic cells with the endpoint as a separate null cell. The mean of the two child slopes equals the parent slope, so is a martingale. Its integral gives the linear interpolation of on that grid. If is Lipschitz continuous, these slopes are bounded by its Lipschitz constant; the Lp martingale convergence theorem then supplies a bounded integral density for .
