Set . The Brownian martingale representation theorem applied to the bounded terminal variable supplies a continuous adapted version of , so it is predictable. Henceis predictable and satisfies . For every square-integrable predictable process , conditioning at each deterministic time and using Fubini theorem givesThus part (d) says . Taking , which is an allowed predictable square-integrable process, makes its squared norm zero. We concludeThis is the Clark-Ocone formula for a smooth Brownian terminal payoff, with exactly the uniqueness established in part (c).
