For , is not measurable with respect to the original Brownian filtration : its conditional variance is . Thus it is not even adapted on the full half-line. It also fails the martingale condition before time one. With , ,The appropriate filtration isBrownian independent increments make a continuous -martingale, with quadratic variation . Define the stochastic integralThe value of the integrand at zero is immaterial; it is square-integrable against the bracket because . Consequently , and the Lévy characterization of Brownian motion makes a -Brownian motion. Associativity of stochastic integrals gives the Brownian motion under a quadratic time change representationThe function is continuous at zero. One can first verify the inverse-integrand identity on and then let using the Itô isometry, since .
