I'm trying to solve Problem 2.4.12 on page 64 of Karatzas-Shreve's book "Brownian motion and stochastic calculus":
enter image description here



My attempt is to use triangle inequality (denoting $Omega=C[0,infty)$)
$$|int_Omega f_ndP_n-int_Omega fdP|leq |int_Omega (f_n-f)dP_n|+|int_Omega fdP_n-int_Omega fdP|quadstar,$$
and estimate the first term with dominated convergence, the second using weak convergence of the measures.



For $epsilon>0$, since $(P_n)_n$ is tight (by Prohorov thm) I can choose a compact $Ksubset Omega$ such that $P_n(K)geq 1-epsilon$.
Fix $mgeq1$, then by dominated convergence for $n$ large enough I have
$$ |int_Omega (f_n-f)dP_m|=|int_K (f_n-f)dP_m|+|int_K^c (f_n-f)dP_m|
leq epsilon+epsilonsup_ngeq1,omegain K^c|f_n(omega)-f(omega)|.$$



  1. To conclude I need $f$ to be bounded. Does this follow from the fact that $f$ is the compact-limit of uniformly bounded functions? (Note that I need boundedness also to use weak convergence on the second term of $star$)


  2. Is it correct that if $forall mgeq1$ $|int_Omega (f_n-f)dP_m|to_ntoinfty0$, then
    $ |int_Omega (f_n-f)dP_n|to_ntoinfty0?$
    To be fair I think it's true only if the first convergence is uniform in $m$.


Thanks in advance :)

  • You know that the sequence is uniformly bounded, so the same bound holds also for the pointwise limit

  • @saz: by fixing $mgeq1,epsilon>0$ I found $N(epsilon,m)geq1$ such that $forall ngeq N(epsilon,m),$ $int_Omega(f_n-f)dP_m<epsilon$. My problem is that $N(epsilon,m)$ depends on $m$. How do I know that $sup_m N(epsilon,m)$ is finite?

  • @Bob: thanks, since I have point-wise convergence and boundedness I even don't need to separate the integral in $K$ and $K^c$: I can apply dom convergence directly on $Omega$, right?

Finally got it:



$|int_Omega (f_n-f)dP_n|leq int_K_epsilon |f_n-f|dP_n +int_K^c_epsilon |f_n-f|dP_n
leq sup_omegain K_epsilon|f_n(omega)-f(omega)|+epsilon||f_n-f||_infty.$



Since $epsilon$ is arbitrary, letting $nto infty$ the last term goes to zero by uniform compact convergence of $(f_n)_ngeq 1$ to $f$.
