We shall show that the second and third terms appearing on the right­
hand side of (11.4.13) have limit zero as llllll -+ 0, and the fourth term has

We consider the second term on the right-hand side of (11.4.13):

As llllll -+ 0, the factor maxo�j�n-1 IXf(tj+l) -Xf(tj)l has limit zero,
whereas Eo<s<T IL1J2(s)l is a finite number not depending on ll. Hence, the
second term on the right-hand side of (11.4.13) has limit zero as llllll -+ 0.
Similarly, the third term on the right-hand side of (11.4.13) has limit zero.
Let us fix an arbitrary w E fl, which fixes the paths of these processes, and
choose the time points in ll so close together that there is at most one jump of
J 1 in each interval (ti, ti+l], at most one jump of J 2 in each interval (tj, ti+1],
and if J 1 and J 2 have a jump in the same interval, then these jumps are


simultaneous. Let A 1 denote the set of indices j for which (tj, t (^3) +1] contains a
