Compact-time Doob L², right-continuous martingale.
For an ℝ≥0-indexed martingale whose
paths are right-continuous (every ω), E sup_{t ≤ T} |M_t|² ≤ 4 E |M_T|²;
the supremum is a
countable one (rationals and T), hence measurable.
The discounted occupation B = ∫_0^∞ e^{-t} k(Z_t) dt.
Equations
Instances For
Resolvent Markov hypothesis: given F_s, the discounted future of k(Z) after s is
e^{-s} V(Z_s).

Instances For
Explicit martingale. Under the resolvent Markov hypothesis,
J_t = ∫_0^t e^{-s}k(Z_s)ds + e^{-t}V(Z_t) is a martingale.
Signed second-moment identity: E B² = 2 E ∫_0^∞ e^{-2t} k(Z_t) V(Z_t) dt, with
B = discountedOccupation Z k; both sides finite.
Cheap bound: if |V| ≤ D then E B² ≤ 2 D E ∫_0^∞ e^{-2t}|k(Z_t)| dt.
