Smoothing out a Stochastic Process

For a stochastic process $G(t)$, one technique of making the process continuous is to define a process $G^m(t) := int_0^t m e^m (s-t) G(s) ds$. I would like to understand the intuition behind such a definition and verify that it is in fact continuous almost surely. Furthermore, it is claimed that $G^m$ converges to $G$ in the $L_2$ sense as $m rightarrow infty$.



Are there more natural methods to smooth out stochastic processes?

    Well, $G^m$ is the convolution of $G$ with a smooth function... and therefore it has very nice regularity properties.

  • I suppose you are assuming that $G$ is square-integrable?
