Since is the sum of two independent centered Gaussian innovations,For any nonzero ,Expanding each expresses this as times a sum of squared innovation coefficients. If all coefficients vanished, the coefficient of the latest innovation gives , and backward induction gives every , a contradiction. Hence and the covariance matrix is positive definite.
