For every rational , part a implies almost surely. The intersection of these probability-one events over the countable collection of rational pairs still has probability one. On this event, ifsome rational interval lies strictly between them, forcing infinitely many upcrossings, a contradiction. Thus has an extended limit almost surely.
The limit cannot be on a set of positive probability: Fatou lemma and the supermartingale property giveNonnegativity excludes . Therefore converges almost surely to a finite random variable, proving the almost sure supermartingale convergence theorem in this case.
