Integrating the preceding differential gives . Consequently , and the representation isThe process is continuous and adapted, hence progressively measurable, and the finite-sum inequality together with the previous second-moment estimate gives .
If is another square-integrable predictable integrand with the same representation, Itô isometry givesThus uniqueness is up to null sets in the square-integrable integrand class. Pointwise uniqueness is impossible: changing a value at one deterministic time changes no Itô integral. Square integrability is the natural class for this representation and is needed for this uniqueness argument; the mere word adapted does not by itself specify an integrable stochastic integral.
