Under the corrected hypothesis, is a continuous local martingale with , , and almost surely. The Dambis-Dubins-Schwarz theorem states that, for such a process,
defines a standard Brownian motion relative to the filtration , and . The divergence of the quadratic variation ensures every is finite, so no extension of the probability space is needed. Here is continuous and strictly increasing because its derivative is , so the inverse is particularly straightforward. Consequently,
The constructed Brownian motion need not be independent of its random clock. Under the literal PDF assumptions need not be a local martingale, as the counterexample in part (a) shows, so this Dambis-Dubins-Schwarz theorem conclusion cannot be asserted without the correction.
