Since is continuous, strictly increasing and unbounded, is its continuous inverse: , and . These inverse times are stopping times. Put , which is continuous and strictly positive and is adapted to the inverse-clock filtration .
Evaluate the identity from part (a) at . The Lebesgue-Stieltjes change of variable givesThereforeThe process is Brownian motion in this same filtration by the construction in part (a). The drift integral is finite on each compact interval because the positive continuous process has a positive minimum there. This is the dimension-three case of the Exponential Brownian-to-Bessel time change.
