As printed, the requested conclusion is false for . On an interval on which stays positive, the time change of a continuous process satisfies . The time-changed martingale term has quadratic variation , so the Lévy characterization of Brownian motion identifies it with a standard Brownian motion . Dividing the drift in part (a) by the derivative of the clock givesConsequently the construction actually satisfieswhich is the Bessel process equation of dimension . It equals the paper's claimed drift only when . The mismatch between the specified power, clock, and conclusion is therefore a typographical error in the question.
