Proof of Gaussian and Span Structure of the Linear-Gaussian State-Observation Model
lemmalem:observation-process-properties-2026aClaim 1. The family is mean-square continuous by claims 1-2 of Basic Properties of the Mean-Square Riemann Integral, so its indefinite mean-square Riemann integral is mean-square continuous by claim 6 there; the Wiener parts are mean-square continuous by part 1 of Integration by Parts for Wiener Integrals and Mean-Square Riemann Integrals; sums are handled by claim 1 of Basic Properties of the Mean-Square Riemann Integral. At all terms vanish by the degenerate-interval conventions recorded in Linear-Gaussian State-Observation Model (via Mean-Square Riemann Integral of a Family of Random Variables and Ito Integrable Process and the Ito Integral), so almost surely.
Span structure. Write for the closed mean-square span of the collection ; by claim 1 of The Closed Mean-Square Span of a Family of Random Variables it is closed under finite linear combinations and mean-square limits. By claim 3 of Existence, Uniqueness, and Variation of Constants for Linear Stochastic Differential Equations (with vanishing forcing), for every (the generating collection for time is contained in that for time ). For : the mean-square Riemann integral is a mean-square limit of its Riemann sums (Mean-Square Riemann Integral of a Family of Random Variables), which are finite linear combinations of values with , all in , so the integral lies in by the closure of claim 1 of The Closed Mean-Square Span of a Family of Random Variables; the Wiener parts lie in by the elementary-integral approximation (claim 1 of Adapted Mean-Square Continuous Processes are Ito Integrable with claim 1 of Existence and Uniqueness of the Mean-Square Extension of the Elementary Stochastic Integral: elementary stochastic integrals of the grid-value approximants are finite linear combinations of increments of at times ). Hence .
Claim 2. Every member of the combined family is either a member of the base family (jointly Gaussian by the model hypothesis of Linear-Gaussian State-Observation Model) or, by claim 1, a mean-square limit of finite linear — hence affine — combinations of members of . By Mean-Square Limits of Affine Combinations Adjoin to a Jointly Gaussian Family, the combined family is jointly Gaussian.
