Fix . By uniform continuity of each path of the continuous local martingale on , its modulustends to zero almost surely. For every , comparison of powers of each increment givesThe squared-increment sum converges in probability to , by the dyadic definition of quadratic variation. Including the last full grid interval instead of the last partial interval changes that sum by a quantity bounded by , so the ceiling convention has the same limit. In particular these squared-increment sums are bounded in probability.
Since , a quantity tending to zero almost surely multiplied by a family bounded in probability tends to zero in probability. HenceThis is uniform convergence on compacts in probability, and proves the superquadratic case of dyadic power variation of a continuous local martingale.
