For an elementary previsible integrand, the integral is the increment sum . This expression uses only and , so is identical under the two measures, irrespective of how the local martingale and finite-variation parts change.
We may use the stochastic dominated convergence theorem: if bounded predictable converge pointwise to under a common deterministic bound, their integrals against a semimartingale converge uniformly on compact intervals in probability. Also convergence in -probability implies convergence in -probability when . To see the latter directly, let . For any event ,
and let first , then . Apply this to events involving the supremum on a finite horizon for the uniform-in-probability statement.
Let be the bounded predictable integrands for which the two integral processes agree up to -indistinguishability. It is a vector space containing elementary rectangle indicators generating the predictable sigma-algebra. It is closed under uniformly bounded pointwise limits: stochastic dominated convergence theorem gives convergence of the integrals under each measure, and the preceding transfer makes the limit also a limit. Uniqueness of limits in probability makes the two limiting integrals equal. The functional monotone-class theorem therefore puts every bounded predictable integrand in .
Finally, for locally bounded , stop on intervals where it has a deterministic bound. Such stopping times tend to infinity under and hence also under . Apply the bounded result to the stopped integrands and use the stopping property of the integral. This proves the stochastic integral under an absolutely continuous measure change identity
The decompositions and thus represent the same process under , although their individual components need not agree. With only absolute continuity, equality is asserted outside a -null set, not necessarily outside a -null set for a chosen version.
