Because a strictly monotone map fixing both endpoints is increasing, the change of variables formula gives
Assuming , define
The Hilbert-space variance identity then gives
Under the regularity needed to interchange expectation and differentiation, because . Hence
Thus exactly when the integrated covariance in the numerator vanishes. In particular, this holds when the amplitude and the time warp are independent random variables.
For these increasing warps, the square-root velocity function is . The chain rule gives
Therefore
where the last equality again uses the change of variables formula. Taking square roots proves invariance under common right composition by .
