The boundedness property translates to the fact thatH=(Ht(ω))t∈R+is
anadmissible integrandfor the processXˇ. This follows from the definition of
the compensatorνin the following way. For each natural numbernwe have,
according to the definition of the compensator that

Since the inequality holds for eachnwe necessarily have that


(H·Xˇ)t≥− 1 a.s., for allt∈R+.

Noting thatMis a (locally bounded) local martingale andBis of lo-
cally bounded variation, we may find a sequence of stopping times (Uj)∞j=1
increasing to infinity, such that, for eachj∈N,


(1)MUjis a martingale, bounded in the Hardy spaceH^1 (Q 1 ), and
(2)BUjis of bounded variation.


Hence, for each predictable setP containedin[[0,Uj]] , f o r s o m e j∈N,we


have thatH (^1) Pis an admissible integrand forSandH (^1) P·Mis a martingale
bounded inH^1 (Q 1 ) and therefore
EQ 1 [(H (^1) P·M)∞]=0.
As by hypothesis
EQ 1 [(H (^1) P·S)∞]≤ 0
we obtain
