If , then is -measurable. Independence and centring of the future Brownian increment make the desired left side zero; the time multiplier on the right is zero as well.
Suppose . Conditional on , write and . The pair is jointly normal and independent of , withApply the supplied Gaussian integration by parts formula to , treating the known as its parameter. This givesMultiply by the bounded -measurable and use the defining property of conditional expectation. Thus the required expectation identity holds for every , including intervals crossing or lying after .
