With At​=∫0t​μ(s)ds, the product rule gives
d(e−At​Xt​)=e−At​Xt​σ(t)dBt​,
(1)
so Xt​e−At​ is a local martingale under P.
Set θ(t)=μ(t)/σ(t). This is bounded and compactly supported, so Novikov condition holds and
Z∞​=exp(−∫0∞​θ(s)dBs​−21​∫0∞​θ(s)2ds)
(2)
defines a probability measure dQ=Z∞​dP. By the Girsanov theorem, Wt​=Bt​+∫0t​θ(s)ds is Brownian under Q, and
dXt​=Xt​σ(t)dWt​.
(3)
Thus X is a local martingale under Q.
