For a stopping time , the optional sampling theorem for the L2-bounded continuous martingale gives . Consequently
If is unbounded, first multiply by a bounded truncation and then remove it using bounds and the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. Thus (ii) implies (iv). Taking proves the converse. For , the same calculation uses the terminal value.
