For Borel sets , multiply the finite-time Radon-Nikodym derivative into the product law of the increments:The factorization, extended from rectangles to the product sigma-algebra, proves independence and identical distributions. Their common law is the exponential tiltingFor , is bounded on , while on . Choosing a small two-sided neighborhood of still contained in gives an integrable dominating function for the derivative. Differentiation under the integral sign then yieldsThe mean under one-sided exponential tilting needs an endpoint qualification. At , finiteness of positive exponential moments makes integrable, but gives no integrability of . The formula holds with the right derivative and the extended mean . To see this, apply monotone convergence to and dominated convergence to as . A finite mean at zero is not guaranteed by the printed hypotheses: , , has finite for every but .
