\subsection{Uniform integrability}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{example}
|
||||
Let $\Omega = [0,1]$, $\cF = \cB$
|
||||
and $\bP = \lambda \defon{[0,1]}$.
|
||||
Consider $X_n \coloneqq n \One_{(0,\frac{1}{n}))}$.
|
||||
We know that $X_n \xrightarrow{n \to \infty} 0$ a.s.,
|
||||
however $\bE[X_n] = \bE[|X_n|] = 1$,
|
||||
hence $X_n$ does not converge in $L^1(\bP)$.
|
||||
|
||||
Let $\mu_n(\cdot ) = \bP[X_n \in \cdot ]$.
|
||||
|
||||
Intuitively, for a series that converges in probability,
|
||||
for $L^1$-convergence to hold we somehow need to make sure
|
||||
that probability measures don't assign mass far away from $0$.
|
||||
This will be made precise in the notion of uniform integrability.
|
||||
\end{example}
|
||||
\begin{goal}
|
||||
We want to show that uniform integrability and convergence in probability
|
||||
is equivalent to convergence in $L^1$.
|
||||
\end{goal}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{definition}
|
||||
A sequence of random variables $(X_n)_n$ is called \vocab{uniformly integrable} (UI),
|
||||
if
|
||||
\[\forall \epsilon > 0 .~\exists k > 0 .~ \forall n.~\bE[|X_n| \One_{\{|X_n > k\} }] < \epsilon.\]
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, we define uniformly integrable for sets of random variables.
|
||||
\end{definition}
|
||||
\begin{example}
|
||||
$X_n \coloneqq n \One_{(0,\frac{1}{n})}$ is not uniformly integrable.
|
||||
\end{example}
|
||||
There is no nice description of uniform integrability.
|
||||
However, some subsets can be easily described, e.g.
|
||||
\begin{fact}\label{lec19f1}
|
||||
If $(X_n)_{n \ge 1}$ is a sequence bounded in $L^{1 + \delta}(\bP)$
|
||||
for some $\delta > 0$ (i.e.~$\sup_n \bE[|X_n|^{1+\delta}] < \infty$),
|
||||
then $(X_n)_n$ is uniformly integrable.
|
||||
\end{fact}
|
||||
\begin{proof}
|
||||
Let $\epsilon > 0$.
|
||||
Let $p \coloneqq 1 + \delta > 1$.
|
||||
Choose $q$ such that $\frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = 1$.
|
||||
Then
|
||||
\begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
|
||||
\bE[|X_n| \One_{|X_n| > k}] &\le& \bE[|X_n|^p]^{\frac{1}{p}} \bP[|X_n| > k]^{\frac{1}{q}}\\
|
||||
\end{IEEEeqnarray*}
|
||||
i.e.
|
||||
\begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
|
||||
\sup_n\bE[|X_n| \One_{|X_n| > k}] &\le& \underbrace{\sup_n\bE[|X_n|^p]^{\frac{1}{p}}}_{< \infty} \sup_n \underbrace{\bP[|X_n| > k]^{\frac{1}{q}}}_{\le k^{\frac{1}{q}} \bE[|X_n|]^{\frac{1}{q}}}\\
|
||||
\end{IEEEeqnarray*}
|
||||
where we have applied Markov's inequality. % TODO REF
|
||||
|
||||
Since $\sup_n \bE[|X_n|^{1+\delta}] < \infty$,
|
||||
we have that $\sup_n \bE[|X_n|] < \infty$ by Jensen. % TODO REF
|
||||
Hence, choose $k$ large enough to make the relevant
|
||||
term less than $\epsilon$.
|
||||
\end{proof}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{fact}\label{lec19f2}
|
||||
If $(X_n)_n$ is uniformly integrable,
|
||||
then $(X_n)_n$ is bounded in $L^1$.k:w
|
||||
\end{fact}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{fact}\label{lec19f3}
|
||||
Suppose $Y \in L^1(\bP)$ and $\sup_n |X_n(\cdot )| \le Y(\cdot )$.
|
||||
Then $(X_n)_n$ is uniformly integrable.
|
||||
\end{fact}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{fact}\label{lec19f4}
|
||||
Let $X \in L^1(\bP)$.
|
||||
\begin{enumerate}[(a)]
|
||||
\item $\forall \epsilon > 0 .~ \exists \delta > 0 .~\forall F \in \cF .~ \bP(F) < \delta \implies\int_F |X| \dif \bP < \epsilon$.
|
||||
\item $\forall \epsilon > 0 .~ \exists k \in (0,\infty) .~ \int_{|X| > k} | X| \dif \bP < \epsilon$.
|
||||
\end{enumerate}
|
||||
\end{fact}
|
||||
\begin{proof}
|
||||
\begin{enumerate}[(a)]
|
||||
\item Suppose not. Then for $\delta = 1, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2^2}, \ldots$
|
||||
there exists $F_n$ such that $\bP(F_n) <\frac{1}{2^n}$
|
||||
but $\int_{F_n} |X| \dif \bP \ge \epsilon$.
|
||||
|
||||
Since $\sum_{n} \bP(F_n) < \infty$,
|
||||
by \autoref{borelcantelli},
|
||||
\[\bP[\underbrace{\limsup_n F_n}_{\text{\reflectbox{$\coloneqq$}}F}] = 0.\]
|
||||
We have
|
||||
\begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
|
||||
\int_F | X| \dif \bP &=& \int |X| \One_F \dif \bP\\
|
||||
&=& \int \limsup_n (|X| \One_{F_n}) \dif \bP\\
|
||||
&\overset{\text{Reverse Fatou}}{\ge }&
|
||||
\limsup_n \int |X| \One_{F_n} \dif \bP\\
|
||||
&\ge & \epsilon
|
||||
\end{IEEEeqnarray*}
|
||||
where the assumption that $X$ is in $L^1$ was used to apply
|
||||
the reverse of Fatou's lemma.
|
||||
|
||||
This yields a contradiction since $\bP(F) = 0$.
|
||||
\item We want to apply part (a) to $F = \{ |X| > k\}$.
|
||||
By Markov, $\bP(F) \le \frac{1}{k} \bE[|X|]$.
|
||||
Since $\bE[|X|] < \infty$, we can choose $k$ large enough
|
||||
to get $\bP(F) \le \delta$.
|
||||
\end{enumerate}
|
||||
\end{proof}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{refproof}{lec19f3}
|
||||
Fix $\epsilon > 0$.
|
||||
We have
|
||||
\[
|
||||
\bE[|X_n| \One_{|X_n| > k}] \le \bE[|Y| \One_{|Y| > k}] < \epsilon
|
||||
\]
|
||||
for $k$ large enough by \autoref{lec19f4} (b).
|
||||
\end{refproof}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{fact}\label{lec19f5}
|
||||
Let $X \in L^1(\bP)$.
|
||||
Then $\bF \coloneqq \{ \bE[X | \cG] : \cG \subseteq \cF \text{ sub-$\sigma$-algebra}\}$ is uniformly integrable.
|
||||
\end{fact}
|
||||
\begin{proof}
|
||||
Fix $\epsilon > 0$.
|
||||
Choose $\delta > 0$ such that
|
||||
\[\forall F \in \cF.~ \bP(F) < \delta \implies \bE[|X| \One_F] <\epsilon. (\ast)\]
|
||||
Let $Y = \bE[X | \cG]$ for some sub-$\sigma$-algebra $\cG$.
|
||||
Then, by \autoref{condjensen}, $|Y| \le \bE[ |X| | \cG]$.
|
||||
Hence $\bE[|Y|] \le \bE[|X|]$.
|
||||
It follows that $\bP[|Y| > k] < \delta$
|
||||
for $k$ suitably large,
|
||||
since $\bE[|X|] \le \infty$.
|
||||
Note that $\{Y > k\} \in \cG$.
|
||||
We have
|
||||
\begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
|
||||
\bE[|Y| \One_{\{|Y| > k\} }] &<& \epsilon
|
||||
\end{IEEEeqnarray*}
|
||||
by $(\ast)$, since $\bP[|Y| > k] < \delta$.
|
||||
\end{proof}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{theorem}
|
||||
Assume that $X_n \in L^1$ for all $n$ and $X \in L^1$.
|
||||
Then the following are equivalent:
|
||||
\begin{enumerate}[(1)]
|
||||
\item $X_n \to X$ in $L^1$.
|
||||
\item $(X_n)_n$ is uniformly integrable and $X_n \to X$ in probability.
|
||||
\end{enumerate}
|
||||
\end{theorem}
|
||||
\begin{proof}
|
||||
(2) $\implies$ (1)
|
||||
|
||||
Define
|
||||
\begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
|
||||
\phi(x) &\coloneqq & \begin{cases}
|
||||
-k, & x \le -k\\
|
||||
x, & x \in (-k,k)\\
|
||||
k, & x \ge k.
|
||||
\end{cases}
|
||||
\end{IEEEeqnarray*}
|
||||
|
||||
$\phi$ is $1$-Lipshitz. % TODO
|
||||
|
||||
We have
|
||||
\begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
|
||||
\int |X_n - X| \dif \bP
|
||||
&\le & \int |X_n - \phi(X_n)| \dif \bP
|
||||
+ \int |\phi(X) - X| \dif \bP
|
||||
+ \int |\phi(X_n) - \phi(X)| \dif \bP\\
|
||||
\end{IEEEeqnarray*}
|
||||
We have $\int_{|X_n| > k} \underbrace{|X_n - \phi(X_n)|}_{\le |X_n| + | \phi(X_n)| \le 2 |X_n|} \dif \bP\le \epsilon$ by uniform integrability and
|
||||
\autoref{lec19f4} part (b).
|
||||
Similarly $\int_{|X| > k} |X - \phi(X)| \dif \bP < \epsilon$.
|
||||
|
||||
Since $\phi$ is Lipshitz,
|
||||
$ X_n \xrightarrow{\bP} X \implies \phi(X_n) \xrightarrow{\bP} \phi(X)$.
|
||||
By the bounded convergence theorem % TODO
|
||||
$|\phi(X_n)| \le k \implies \int | \phi(X_n) - \phi(X)| \dif \bP \to 0$.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
(1) $\implies$ (2)
|
||||
|
||||
$X_n \xrightarrow{L^1} X \implies X_n \xrightarrow{\bP} X$
|
||||
by Markov's inequality.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix $\epsilon > 0$.
|
||||
We have
|
||||
\begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
|
||||
\bE[|X_n|] &=& \bE[|X_n - X + X|]\\
|
||||
&\le & \epsilon + \bE[|X|]\\
|
||||
&<& \delta k
|
||||
\end{IEEEeqnarray*}
|
||||
for all $\delta > 0$ and suitable $k$.
|
||||
|
||||
Hence $\bP[|X_n| < k] < \delta$ by Markov's inequality.
|
||||
Then by \autoref{lec19f4} part (a) it follows that
|
||||
\[
|
||||
\int_{|X_n| > k} |X_n| \dif \bP \le \underbrace{\int |X - X_n| \dif \bP}_{< \epsilon} + \int_{|X_n| > k} |X| \dif \bP \le 2 \epsilon.
|
||||
\]
|
||||

\subsection{Martingale convergence theorems in $L^p, p \ge 1$}
|
||||
|
||||
Let $(\Omega, \cF, \bP)$ as always and let $(\cF_n)_n$ always be a filtration.
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{fact}\label{lec19f6}
|
||||
Suppose that $X \in L^p$ for some $p \ge 1$.
|
||||
|
||||
Then $(\bE[X | \cF_n])_n$ is an $\cF_n$-martingale.
|
||||
\end{fact}
|
||||
\begin{proof}
|
||||
It is clear that $(\bE[X | \cF_n])_n$ is adapted to $(\cF_n)_n$.
|
||||
|
||||
Let $X_n \coloneqq \bE[X | \cF_n]$.
|
||||
Consider
|
||||
\begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
|
||||
\bE[X_n - X_{n-1} | \cF_{n-1}]
|
||||
&=& \bE[\bE[X | \cF_n] - \bE[X | \cF_{n-1}] | \cF_{n-1}]\\
|
||||
&=& \bE[X | \cF_{n-1}] - \bE[X | \cF_{n-1}]\\
|
||||
&=& 0.
|
||||
\end{IEEEeqnarray*}
|
||||
\end{proof}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{theorem}
|
||||
Let $X \in L^p$ for some $p \ge 1$.
|
||||
Then $X_n \coloneqq \bE[X | \cF_n]$ defines a martingale which converges
|
||||
to $X$ in $L^p$.

\begin{theorem}
|
||||
Let $p > 1$.
|
||||
Let $(X_n)_n$ be a martingale bounded in $L^p$.
|

Then there exists a random variable $X \in L^p$, such that

$X_n = \bE[X | \cF_n]$ for all $n$.
