Set , where the norms are operator norms, and . Independence of the Brownian coordinates and the vector Itô isometry giveInduction, as in part (b), yields the Factorial Picard estimate for a linear stochastic differential equationFor , the triangle inequality in therefore bounds any tail of the iterates by the corresponding tail ofThis numerical series converges by the ratio test: successive terms have ratio . Thus the iterates are Cauchy in , uniformly in the deterministic time parameter on each bounded interval. Completeness of Lp spaces gives a limit . Once its continuous adapted version is chosen in part (d), the Itô isometry permits passage to the limit in the integral equation: the squared norm of each integral difference is bounded by . Consequently the Picard limit solves the stochastic differential equation.
