With the printed assumptions alone, the general quadratic covariation calculation from the two noise coefficients givesA continuous finite-variation process contributes no quadratic covariation, so the drift terms in the previous part do not alter these formulas. Taking gives , which is nonzero near zero since . Also is not identically zero. Thus the requested assertions are false as printed.
Under the corrected assumption , yieldsThe pair is therefore a pair of orthogonal continuous local martingales. This equality also identifies the clock for the intended time change of a continuous process.
