Finitely Additive Supermartingales
نویسنده
چکیده
The concept of finitely additive supermartingales, originally due to Bochner, is revived and developed. We exploit it to study measure decompositions over filtered probability spaces and the properties of the associated Doléans-Dade measure. We obtain versions of the Doob Meyer decomposition and, as an application, we establish a version of the Bichteler and Dellacherie theorem with no exogenous probability measure.

Finitely Additive Supermartingales Are Differences of Martingales
It is shown that any nonnegative bounded supermartingale admits a Doob-Meyer decomposition as a difference of a martingale and an adapted increasing process upon appropriate choice of a reference probability measure which may be only finitely additive. Introduction. In [Armstrong, 1983] it is shown that every bounded finitely additive supermartingale is a decreasing process with respect to some...
متن کاملSupermartingale Decomposition with a General Index Set
By Doob’s theorem, supermartingales indexed by the natural numbers decompose into the difference of a uniformly integrable martingale and an increasing process. The relative ease of working with increasing processes rather than supermartingales explains the prominent role of this result in stochastic analysis and in the theory of stochastic integration. Meyer [19] then proved that, under the us...
متن کاملAutomatic supermartingales acting on sequences
This paper describes a construction of supermartingales realized as automatic functions. A capital of supermartingales is represented using automatic capital groups (ACG). Properties of these automatic supermartingales are then studied. Automatic supermartingales induce a notion of random infinite binary sequence. We show that the class of random sequences coincide with that of disjunctive sequ...
متن کاملCovers in finitely accessible categories
We show that in a finitely accessible additive category every class of objects closed under direct limits and pure epimorphic images is covering. In particular, the classes of flat objects in a locally finitely presented additive category and of absolutely pure objects in a locally coherent category are covering.
متن کاملInfinite Previsions and Finitely Additive Expectations
We give an extension of de Finetti’s concept of coherence to unbounded (but real-valued) random variables that allows for gambling in the presence of infinite previsions. We present a finitely additive extension of the Daniell integral to unbounded random variables that we believe has advantages over Lebesgue-style integrals in the finitely additive setting. We also give a general version of th...
