Use the predictable sigma-algebra generated by , , and , . A previsible process is a measurable function for this sigma-algebra. Set , with . The events and are in , because they are countable unions of events and for rational . Thus is an adapted process. Each path is left-continuous, including at the two endpoints, and is zero if .
For a direct measurability argument, letEach summand is measurable for the predictable sigma-algebra, since its coefficient is -measurable. At every the sampling time approaches strictly from below, so left-continuity gives . ThereforeThe original PDF has a right-closed interval. The open right endpoint in the converted TeX is a transcription error; replacing by is not valid for arbitrary stopping times.
