In mathematics, progressive measurability is a property in the theory of stochastic processes. A progressively measurable process, while defined quite technically, is important because it implies the stopped process is measurable. Being progressively measurable is a strictly stronger property than the notion of being an adapted process.[1] Progressively measurable processes are important in the theory of Itô integrals.

Definition

Let

The process X is said to be progressively measurable[2] (or simply progressive) if, for every time t, the map [0,t]×Ω𝕏 defined by (s,ω)Xs(ω) is Borel([0,t])t-measurable. This implies that X is t-adapted.[1] A subset P[0,)×Ω is said to be progressively measurable if the process Xs(ω):=χP(s,ω) is progressively measurable in the sense defined above, where χP is the indicator function of P. The set of all such subsets P form a sigma algebra on [0,)×Ω, denoted by Prog, and a process X is progressively measurable in the sense of the previous paragraph if, and only if, it is Prog-measurable.

Properties

  • It can be shown[1] that L2(B), the space of stochastic processes X:[0,T]×Ωn for which the Itô integral
0TXtdBt
with respect to Brownian motion B is defined, is the set of equivalence classes of Prog-measurable processes in L2([0,T]×Ω;n).
  • Every adapted process with left- or right-continuous paths is progressively measurable. Consequently, every adapted process with càdlàg paths is progressively measurable.[1]
  • Every measurable and adapted process has a progressively measurable modification.[1]
