Proof

Throughout, measurable for a real-valued map means measurable with respect to the Borel σ\sigma-algebra B(R)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}) on the target; Bn\mathcal{B}_n and λn\lambda_n denote the nn-fold Borel σ\sigma-algebra and product Lebesgue measure on Rn\mathbb{R}^n, λ[0,T]\lambda_{[0,T]} the restricted Lebesgue measure on [0,T][0,T], Dk(T)D_k(T) the ordered time simplex (the set of time tuples of the cell Ck,vC_{k,v}), and Rj(T)R_j(T) the record space of Observation-Driven Control Policy. Records are written r=(k,t,v)r=(k,\mathbf{t},v) with t=(t1,…,tk)\mathbf{t}=(t_1,\dots,t_k), as in the statement. The σ\sigma-algebra Bn\mathcal{B}_n equals the Borel σ\sigma-algebra generated by the open sets by claim 5 of The Borel Sigma-Algebra of a Euclidean Space as a Product, and Measurability of Projections, Sequentially Continuous Maps, and Open and Closed Sets. For a σ\sigma-algebra G\mathcal{G} on a set XX and X0∈GX_0\in\mathcal{G}, G∣X0={A∈G:A⊆X0}\mathcal{G}|_{X_0}=\{A\in\mathcal{G}:A\subseteq X_0\} is the restriction (claim 1 there). For t∈[0,T]t\in[0,T] and ω∈Ω\omega\in\Omega we write Σtr(ω)=(Σtr,1(ω),…,Σtr,l(ω))\Sigma^{r}_t(\omega)=(\Sigma^{r,1}_t(\omega),\dots,\Sigma^{r,l}_t(\omega)), and similarly for Σˉ\bar\Sigma.

Preliminaries.

(P1) Generator criterion. Let ϕ:(X,G)→Y\phi:(X,\mathcal{G})\to Y be a map into a set YY carrying the σ\sigma-algebra σ(E)\sigma(\mathcal{E}) generated by a family E\mathcal{E} of subsets of YY. If ϕ−1(E)∈G\phi^{-1}(E)\in\mathcal{G} for every E∈EE\in\mathcal{E}, then ϕ\phi is measurable. Indeed, D={A⊆Y:ϕ−1(A)∈G}\mathcal{D}=\{A\subseteq Y:\phi^{-1}(A)\in\mathcal{G}\} is a σ\sigma-algebra on YY (preimages commute with complements and countable unions, and ϕ−1(Y)=X\phi^{-1}(Y)=X) containing E\mathcal{E}, hence D⊇σ(E)\mathcal{D}\supseteq\sigma(\mathcal{E}) by Intersections of Sigma-Algebras and Minimality of the Generated Sigma-Algebra. Applied to a product σ\sigma-algebra G1⊗G2\mathcal{G}_1\otimes\mathcal{G}_2, generated by the measurable rectangles A1×A2A_1\times A_2: a map ϕ=(ϕ1,ϕ2)\phi=(\phi_1,\phi_2) into X1×X2X_1\times X_2 is measurable as soon as ϕ−1(A1×A2)=ϕ1−1(A1)∩ϕ2−1(A2)∈G\phi^{-1}(A_1\times A_2)=\phi_1^{-1}(A_1)\cap\phi_2^{-1}(A_2)\in\mathcal{G} for all A1∈G1A_1\in\mathcal{G}_1, A2∈G2A_2\in\mathcal{G}_2; in particular the coordinate projections of a product are measurable, and the composition of measurable maps is measurable (preimages compose).

(P2) Sections. If E∈G1⊗G2E\in\mathcal{G}_1\otimes\mathcal{G}_2 and x2∈X2x_2\in X_2, then the section {x1:(x1,x2)∈E}\{x_1:(x_1,x_2)\in E\} lies in G1\mathcal{G}_1. Indeed, the family of all E⊆X1×X2E\subseteq X_1\times X_2 whose section at x2x_2 lies in G1\mathcal{G}_1 is a σ\sigma-algebra (taking the section commutes with complements and countable unions) containing every rectangle A1×A2A_1\times A_2 (its section is A1A_1 or ∅\emptyset), hence contains G1⊗G2\mathcal{G}_1\otimes\mathcal{G}_2 by Intersections of Sigma-Algebras and Minimality of the Generated Sigma-Algebra. Consequently, if g:X1×X2→Rg:X_1\times X_2\to\mathbb{R} is G1⊗G2\mathcal{G}_1\otimes\mathcal{G}_2-measurable, then every section x1↦g(x1,x2)x_1\mapsto g(x_1,x_2) is G1\mathcal{G}_1-measurable, its preimage of a Borel set DD being the section of g−1(D)g^{-1}(D).

(P3) Nested sections. Let E∈B[0,T]⊗(R⊗F)E\in\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes(\mathcal{R}\otimes\mathcal{F}) and ω∈Ω\omega\in\Omega. Then Eω={(t,r):(t,r,ω)∈E}∈B[0,T]⊗RE^{\omega}=\{(t,r):(t,r,\omega)\in E\}\in\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes\mathcal{R}. Indeed, the family D\mathcal{D} of all E⊆[0,T]×R×ΩE\subseteq[0,T]\times\mathbf{R}\times\Omega with Eω∈B[0,T]⊗RE^{\omega}\in\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes\mathcal{R} is a σ\sigma-algebra (taking the section at ω\omega commutes with complements and countable unions), and it contains every rectangle B×E′B\times E' with B∈B[0,T]B\in\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]} and E′∈R⊗FE'\in\mathcal{R}\otimes\mathcal{F}, since (B×E′)ω=B×{r:(r,ω)∈E′}(B\times E')^{\omega}=B\times\{r:(r,\omega)\in E'\} and the section of E′E' lies in R\mathcal{R} by (P2). Hence D\mathcal{D} contains the generated σ\sigma-algebra B[0,T]⊗(R⊗F)\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes(\mathcal{R}\otimes\mathcal{F}) by Intersections of Sigma-Algebras and Minimality of the Generated Sigma-Algebra. Consequently the section at ω\omega of a B[0,T]⊗(R⊗F)\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes(\mathcal{R}\otimes\mathcal{F})-measurable real map is B[0,T]⊗R\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes\mathcal{R}-measurable.

(P4) Piecewise criterion. Let (X,G)(X,\mathcal{G}) be a measurable space, let (Xn)n(X_n)_{n} be countably many pairwise disjoint members of G\mathcal{G} with union XX, and let g:X→Rg:X\to\mathbb{R} be such that each restriction g∣Xng|_{X_n} is measurable with respect to G∣Xn\mathcal{G}|_{X_n}. Then gg is measurable, because g−1(D)=⋃n(g∣Xn)−1(D)g^{-1}(D)=\bigcup_n(g|_{X_n})^{-1}(D) is a countable union of members of G\mathcal{G}.

(P5) Trace description. Let j≥0j\ge0 and let Sj=[0,T]×Rj(T)⊆R1+jS_j=[0,T]\times R_j(T)\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{1+j} for j≥1j\ge1 and S0=[0,T]⊆RS_0=[0,T]\subseteq\mathbb{R}, with Rj(T)R_j(T) the record space of Observation-Driven Control Policy. The σ\sigma-algebra Oj\mathcal{O}_j generated by the relatively open subsets of SjS_j (the sets U∩SjU\cap S_j with UU open in R1+j\mathbb{R}^{1+j}) equals the trace {A∩Sj:A∈B1+j}\{A\cap S_j:A\in\mathcal{B}_{1+j}\}. Indeed, the trace is a σ\sigma-algebra on SjS_j (traces commute with complements and countable unions) containing the relatively open sets, since open sets lie in B1+j\mathcal{B}_{1+j} by claim 4 of The Borel Sigma-Algebra of a Euclidean Space as a Product, and Measurability of Projections, Sequentially Continuous Maps, and Open and Closed Sets; so Oj\mathcal{O}_j is contained in the trace. Conversely, the family of A∈B1+jA\in\mathcal{B}_{1+j} with A∩Sj∈OjA\cap S_j\in\mathcal{O}_j is a σ\sigma-algebra containing the open sets, hence equals B1+j\mathcal{B}_{1+j} by claim 5 of The Borel Sigma-Algebra of a Euclidean Space as a Product, and Measurability of Projections, Sequentially Continuous Maps, and Open and Closed Sets and Intersections of Sigma-Algebras and Minimality of the Generated Sigma-Algebra. For j=0j=0 the trace is the trace Borel σ\sigma-algebra B[0,T]\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}.

Step 1 (claim 1: joint measurability of the record-frozen control). Event times. For j≥1j\ge1 define tj:R→[0,∞)\mathsf{t}_j:\mathbf{R}\to[0,\infty) by tj(r)=tj\mathsf{t}_j(r)=t_j if r=(k,t,v)r=(k,\mathbf{t},v) has k≥jk\ge j events and tj(r)=0\mathsf{t}_j(r)=0 otherwise (this is not the jump-time notation τj(q)\tau_j(q) of Existence, Uniqueness, Causality, and Measurability of the Open-Loop Aggregate Solution). On a cell Ck,vC_{k,v} with k≥jk\ge j, tj\mathsf{t}_j is the composition of the inverse of the transport bijection t↦(k,t,v)t\mapsto(k,t,v) (measurable by claim 2 of Assembly of Measure Spaces: Restriction, Transport, One-Point Spaces, and Countable Disjoint Unions) with the coordinate projection t↦tjt\mapsto t_j restricted to Dk(T)D_k(T), which is measurable with respect to the restriction of Bk\mathcal{B}_k to Dk(T)D_k(T) by claim 1 of The Borel Sigma-Algebra of a Euclidean Space as a Product, and Measurability of Projections, Sequentially Continuous Maps, and Open and Closed Sets (a preimage under the restricted map is the intersection of Dk(T)D_k(T) with a preimage under the projection); on the other cells tj\mathsf{t}_j is constant. By claim 4(c) of Assembly of Measure Spaces: Restriction, Transport, One-Point Spaces, and Countable Disjoint Unions (the σ\sigma-algebra R\mathcal{R} being that of the countable disjoint union of the cells), tj\mathsf{t}_j is R\mathcal{R}-measurable as a [0,∞][0,\infty]-valued map, hence as a real-valued map: the preimage of a Borel set D⊆RD\subseteq\mathbb{R} is the preimage of D∩[0,∞)D\cap[0,\infty), a measurable subset of [0,∞][0,\infty]. Put t0=0\mathsf{t}_0=0.

The partition. For a cell Ck,vC_{k,v} (k≥0k\ge0, with C0,()=C∅C_{0,()}=C_\emptyset) and j∈{0,…,k}j\in\{0,\dots,k\} let Ek,v,j={(s,r)∈[0,T]×Ck,v: kr(s)=j}.E_{k,v,j}=\{(s,r)\in[0,T]\times C_{k,v}:\ k_r(s)=j\}. Since t1<⋯<tkt_1<\dots<t_k for r∈Ck,vr\in C_{k,v}, one has kr(s)=jk_r(s)=j if and only if tj(r)≤s\mathsf{t}_j(r)\le s and, when j<kj<k, s<tj+1(r)s<\mathsf{t}_{j+1}(r). The maps (s,r)↦s(s,r)\mapsto s and (s,r)↦tj(r)(s,r)\mapsto\mathsf{t}_j(r) are B[0,T]⊗R\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes\mathcal{R}-measurable (compositions of the coordinate projections of (P1) with measurable maps), so their difference is measurable by claim 2 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions, and Ek,v,jE_{k,v,j} is the intersection of [0,T]×Ck,v[0,T]\times C_{k,v} (a measurable rectangle) with preimages of Borel sets under such differences. Hence Ek,v,j∈B[0,T]⊗RE_{k,v,j}\in\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes\mathcal{R}. The sets Ek,v,jE_{k,v,j} (k≥0k\ge0, v∈Vkv\in V^k, 0≤j≤k0\le j\le k) are pairwise disjoint (the cells are, and kr(s)k_r(s) takes one value), countably many (finitely many for each kk), and their union is [0,T]×R[0,T]\times\mathbf{R} because kr(s)∈{0,…,k}k_r(s)\in\{0,\dots,k\}.

Measurability on a piece. Fix k,v,jk,v,j and a component index i∈{1,…,m}i\in\{1,\dots,m\}. For (s,r)∈Ek,v,j(s,r)\in E_{k,v,j} the definition of the record-frozen control path gives ai(s,r)=hji(s,(t1(r),…,tj(r)),(v1,…,vj))\mathsf{a}^{i}(s,r)=h^{i}_j(s,(\mathsf{t}_1(r),\dots,\mathsf{t}_j(r)),(v_1,\dots,v_j)) for j≥1j\ge1, and ai(s,r)=h0i(s)\mathsf{a}^{i}(s,r)=h^{i}_0(s) for j=0j=0. Consider the map Ψ:Ek,v,j→Sj\Psi:E_{k,v,j}\to S_j, Ψ(s,r)=(s,t1(r),…,tj(r))\Psi(s,r)=(s,\mathsf{t}_1(r),\dots,\mathsf{t}_j(r)) (Ψ(s,r)=s\Psi(s,r)=s for j=0j=0); its values lie in SjS_j because 0<t1(r)<⋯<tj(r)≤T0<\mathsf{t}_1(r)<\dots<\mathsf{t}_j(r)\le T for r∈Ck,vr\in C_{k,v} (the time tuple lying in Dk(T)D_k(T)), so that (t1(r),…,tj(r))(\mathsf{t}_1(r),\dots,\mathsf{t}_j(r)) satisfies the membership condition 0≤τ1≤⋯≤τj≤T0\le\tau_1\le\dots\le\tau_j\le T of Rj(T)R_j(T). Each component of Ψ\Psi is measurable with respect to (B[0,T]⊗R)∣Ek,v,j(\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes\mathcal{R})|_{E_{k,v,j}}, so Ψ\Psi is measurable into (R1+j,B1+j)(\mathbb{R}^{1+j},\mathcal{B}_{1+j}) by claim 2 of The Borel Sigma-Algebra of a Euclidean Space as a Product, and Measurability of Projections, Sequentially Continuous Maps, and Open and Closed Sets (for j=0j=0, into (R,B(R))(\mathbb{R},\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}))). Let H=hji(⋅,⋅,(v1,…,vj))H=h^{i}_j(\cdot,\cdot,(v_1,\dots,v_j)) (H=h0iH=h^{i}_0 for j=0j=0), a real map on SjS_j which is measurable with respect to Oj\mathcal{O}_j by Observation-Driven Control Policy. For a Borel set D⊆RD\subseteq\mathbb{R}, (P5) gives H−1(D)=A∩SjH^{-1}(D)=A\cap S_j with A∈B1+jA\in\mathcal{B}_{1+j}, so (ai∣Ek,v,j)−1(D)=(H∘Ψ)−1(D)=Ψ−1(A)(\mathsf{a}^{i}|_{E_{k,v,j}})^{-1}(D)=(H\circ\Psi)^{-1}(D)=\Psi^{-1}(A) belongs to (B[0,T]⊗R)∣Ek,v,j(\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes\mathcal{R})|_{E_{k,v,j}}. By (P4), ai\mathsf{a}^{i} is B[0,T]⊗R\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes\mathcal{R}-measurable. Since hh takes values in A\mathcal{A}, so does a\mathsf{a}, and claim 4 of Existence, Uniqueness, Causality, and Measurability of the Open-Loop Aggregate Solution applies with (R,R)=(R,R)(\mathsf{R},\mathcal{R})=(\mathbf{R},\mathcal{R}) (nonempty, as it contains r∅r_\emptyset); this yields the recursion paths Σtr(ω)\Sigma^{r}_t(\omega), the set G∈R⊗HT\mathsf{G}\in\mathcal{R}\otimes\mathcal{H}_T, and the measurability statements quoted below.

Step 2 (claim 2: the regularised path). Fix (r,ω)(r,\omega) and run the recursion for (P(ω),ar,x0)(\mathsf{P}(\omega),a^r,x_0), with stopping index KK, times θ0=0<θ1<⋯<θK≤T\theta_0=0<\theta_1<\dots<\theta_K\le T (strict by claim 1 of Existence, Uniqueness, Causality, and Measurability of the Open-Loop Aggregate Solution) and points x(0)=x0,…,x(K)x^{(0)}=x_0,\dots,x^{(K)}. By the definition of the recursion path, Σtr(ω)=x(k)\Sigma^{r}_t(\omega)=x^{(k)} for t∈[θk,θk+1)t\in[\theta_k,\theta_{k+1}) and k<Kk<K, and Σtr(ω)=x(K)\Sigma^{r}_t(\omega)=x^{(K)} for t∈[θK,T]t\in[\theta_K,T]. Since the recursion stops at the first index KK with θK=T\theta_K=T or x(K)∉GNx^{(K)}\notin\mathbb{G}_N, one has x(k)∈GNx^{(k)}\in\mathbb{G}_N for every k<Kk<K.

(a) Hence Σˉtr(ω)=x(k)\bar\Sigma^{r}_t(\omega)=x^{(k)} on [θk,θk+1)[\theta_k,\theta_{k+1}) for k<Kk<K, and on [θK,T][\theta_K,T] the map Σˉr(ω)\bar\Sigma^{r}(\omega) is constant, equal to x(K)x^{(K)} if x(K)∈GNx^{(K)}\in\mathbb{G}_N and to x0x_0 otherwise. All values lie in GN\mathbb{G}_N, and Σˉr(ω)=Σr(ω)\bar\Sigma^{r}(\omega)=\Sigma^{r}(\omega) on [0,θK)[0,\theta_K).

(b) Let t∈(0,T]t\in(0,T]. If t∈(θk,θk+1]t\in(\theta_k,\theta_{k+1}] for some k<Kk<K, put Σˉt−r(ω)=x(k)\bar\Sigma^{r}_{t-}(\omega)=x^{(k)} and δ=t−θk>0\delta=t-\theta_k>0: then [t−δ,t)=[θk,t)⊆[θk,θk+1)[t-\delta,t)=[\theta_k,t)\subseteq[\theta_k,\theta_{k+1}), on which Σˉr(ω)=x(k)\bar\Sigma^{r}(\omega)=x^{(k)}. If t∈(θK,T]t\in(\theta_K,T], put Σˉt−r(ω)=ΣˉTr(ω)\bar\Sigma^{r}_{t-}(\omega)=\bar\Sigma^{r}_T(\omega) and δ=t−θK\delta=t-\theta_K. These cases are exhaustive and exclusive since 0=θ0<θ1<⋯<θK≤T0=\theta_0<\theta_1<\dots<\theta_K\le T. The point is unique: if yy and y′y' are constant values of Σˉr(ω)\bar\Sigma^{r}(\omega) on [t−δ,t)∩[0,T][t-\delta,t)\cap[0,T] and on [t−δ′,t)∩[0,T][t-\delta',t)\cap[0,T] respectively, both intervals contain [t−min⁡(δ,δ′),t)∩[0,T][t-\min(\delta,\delta'),t)\cap[0,T], which is nonempty as t>0t>0, so y=y′y=y'. In the first case Σˉt−r(ω)=Σˉtr(ω)\bar\Sigma^{r}_{t-}(\omega)=\bar\Sigma^{r}_t(\omega) unless t=θk+1t=\theta_{k+1}; in the second case equality holds. With Σˉ0−r(ω)=x0=Σˉ0r(ω)\bar\Sigma^{r}_{0-}(\omega)=x_0=\bar\Sigma^{r}_0(\omega), the set of tt where the left limit differs from the value is contained in {θ1,…,θK}\{\theta_1,\dots,\theta_K\}. The left limit lies in GN\mathbb{G}_N by (a).

(c) If (r,ω)∈G(r,\omega)\in\mathsf{G}, then x(K)∈GNx^{(K)}\in\mathbb{G}_N, so Σˉr(ω)=Σr(ω)\bar\Sigma^{r}(\omega)=\Sigma^{r}(\omega) on all of [0,T][0,T], and by claim 2 of Existence, Uniqueness, Causality, and Measurability of the Open-Loop Aggregate Solution the recursion path is the unique open-loop aggregate solution for the data.

(d) The path. By claim 4 of Existence, Uniqueness, Causality, and Measurability of the Open-Loop Aggregate Solution, each map (t,r,ω)↦Σtr,γ(ω)(t,r,\omega)\mapsto\Sigma^{r,\gamma}_t(\omega) is B[0,T]⊗(R⊗F)\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes(\mathcal{R}\otimes\mathcal{F})-measurable. The indicator χ(t,r,ω)\chi(t,r,\omega) of {Σtr(ω)∈GN}\{\Sigma^{r}_t(\omega)\in\mathbb{G}_N\} equals ∑x∈GN∏γ=1l1{Σtr,γ(ω)=xγ}\sum_{x\in\mathbb{G}_N}\prod_{\gamma=1}^{l}\mathbf{1}\{\Sigma^{r,\gamma}_t(\omega)=x^{\gamma}\}, a finite sum of finite products of indicators of preimages of one-point Borel sets, hence measurable by claims 1, 2 and 3 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions; and Σˉtr,γ(ω)=χ Σtr,γ(ω)+(1−χ) x0γ\bar\Sigma^{r,\gamma}_t(\omega)=\chi\,\Sigma^{r,\gamma}_t(\omega)+(1-\chi)\,x_0^{\gamma} is measurable by the same claims.

The left limit. For n≥1n\ge1 let ϕn:[0,T]→[0,T]\phi_n:[0,T]\to[0,T], ϕn(t)=max⁡(t−1/n,0)\phi_n(t)=\max(t-1/n,0), which satisfies ∣ϕn(t)−ϕn(s)∣≤∣t−s∣|\phi_n(t)-\phi_n(s)|\le|t-s|, hence is continuous on [0,T][0,T] and B[0,T]\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}-measurable by claim 4 of Measurability of Countable Suprema, Bounded Pointwise Limits, Monotone Functions, and Continuous Functions. The map Φn(t,r,ω)=(ϕn(t),r,ω)\Phi_n(t,r,\omega)=(\phi_n(t),r,\omega) is measurable from B[0,T]⊗(R⊗F)\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes(\mathcal{R}\otimes\mathcal{F}) to itself by (P1), the preimage of a rectangle B×E′B\times E' being ϕn−1(B)×E′\phi_n^{-1}(B)\times E'. Hence gn(t,r,ω)=Σˉϕn(t)r,γ(ω)g_n(t,r,\omega)=\bar\Sigma^{r,\gamma}_{\phi_n(t)}(\omega) is measurable, with values in [0,1][0,1]. We claim gn(t,r,ω)→Σˉt−r,γ(ω)g_n(t,r,\omega)\to\bar\Sigma^{r,\gamma}_{t-}(\omega) for every (t,r,ω)(t,r,\omega). For t=0t=0, ϕn(0)=0\phi_n(0)=0 and gn=Σˉ0r,γ(ω)=x0γg_n=\bar\Sigma^{r,\gamma}_0(\omega)=x_0^{\gamma}. For t>0t>0 take δ\delta from (b): for n>1/δn>1/\delta, ϕn(t)∈[t−δ,t)∩[0,T]\phi_n(t)\in[t-\delta,t)\cap[0,T], so gn(t,r,ω)=Σˉt−r,γ(ω)g_n(t,r,\omega)=\bar\Sigma^{r,\gamma}_{t-}(\omega). Thus the sequence is eventually constant, and claim 2 of Measurability of Countable Suprema, Bounded Pointwise Limits, Monotone Functions, and Continuous Functions gives the measurability of (t,r,ω)↦Σˉt−r,γ(ω)(t,r,\omega)\mapsto\bar\Sigma^{r,\gamma}_{t-}(\omega).

Sections. The statements for fixed ω\omega follow from (P3).

Step 3 (claim 3: causality). Bounds. For x∈Δlx\in\Delta^l and every υ\upsilon, 0≤b~υ(x)=∑σxσβ~(σ,υ,x)≤B~∑σxσ=B~0\le\tilde{b}^\upsilon(x)=\sum_{\sigma}x^{\sigma}\tilde\beta(\sigma,\upsilon,x)\le\tilde{B}\sum_\sigma x^{\sigma}=\tilde{B} by condition 1 of Observation-Rate Family, since xσ≥0x^{\sigma}\ge0 and ∑σxσ=1\sum_\sigma x^{\sigma}=1; if b~υ≥b‾\tilde{b}^\upsilon\ge\underline{b} on Δl\Delta^l then λω,υ≥Nb‾\lambda^{\omega,\upsilon}\ge N\underline{b}. As Σˉt−r(ω)∈GN⊆Δl\bar\Sigma^{r}_{t-}(\omega)\in\mathbb{G}_N\subseteq\Delta^l, λω,υ\lambda^{\omega,\upsilon} takes values in [0,NB~][0,N\tilde{B}], and its total intensity is ∑υNb~υ(Σˉt−r(ω))=Nb~tot(Σˉt−r(ω))\sum_\upsilon N\tilde{b}^\upsilon(\bar\Sigma^{r}_{t-}(\omega))=N\tilde{b}^{\mathrm{tot}}(\bar\Sigma^{r}_{t-}(\omega)).

Sequential continuity of b~υ\tilde{b}^\upsilon on Δl\Delta^l. Let xn→xx_n\to x in Δl\Delta^l with respect to the Euclidean distance. Then ∣xnσ−xσ∣≤d(xn,x)→0|x_n^{\sigma}-x^{\sigma}|\le d(x_n,x)\to0 for every σ\sigma, and β~(σ,υ,xn)→β~(σ,υ,x)\tilde\beta(\sigma,\upsilon,x_n)\to\tilde\beta(\sigma,\upsilon,x) by condition 2 of Observation-Rate Family; by Arithmetic of Limits of Real Sequences the products and the finite sum converge, so b~υ(xn)→b~υ(x)\tilde{b}^\upsilon(x_n)\to\tilde{b}^\upsilon(x).

Measurability (condition (i)). Fix ω\omega. Each component of (t,r)↦Σˉt−r(ω)(t,r)\mapsto\bar\Sigma^{r}_{t-}(\omega) is B[0,T]⊗R\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes\mathcal{R}-measurable by claim 2(d), and the map takes values in Δl\Delta^l; by Sequentially Continuous Functions of Measurable Euclidean Maps are Measurable (with E=ΔlE=\Delta^l) the composition (t,r)↦b~υ(Σˉt−r(ω))(t,r)\mapsto\tilde{b}^\upsilon(\bar\Sigma^{r}_{t-}(\omega)) is measurable, hence so is its constant multiple λω,υ\lambda^{\omega,\upsilon} (claim 2 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions). The same argument on [0,T]×R×Ω[0,T]\times\mathbf{R}\times\Omega shows that Λυ(t,r,ω)=λtω,υ(r)\Lambda^{\upsilon}(t,r,\omega)=\lambda^{\omega,\upsilon}_t(r) is B[0,T]⊗(R⊗F)\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes(\mathcal{R}\otimes\mathcal{F})-measurable; this is used in Step 4.

The identity. Fix t∈[0,T]t\in[0,T], r=(k,t,v)∈Rr=(k,\mathbf{t},v)\in\mathbf{R} and ω\omega, and put r′=πt−(r)r'=\pi_{t-}(r), which consists of the κ\kappa events of rr with tj<tt_j<t, these being exactly the events with indices 1,…,κ1,\dots,\kappa by The Strict Prefix Map on the Observation Record Space. For u∈[0,t)u\in[0,t), an index jj with tj≤ut_j\le u satisfies tj<tt_j<t, so j≤κj\le\kappa; hence kr′(u)=kr(u)k_{r'}(u)=k_r(u), and the first kr(u)k_r(u) event times and marks of rr and r′r' coincide, so ar′(u)=ar(u)a^{r'}(u)=a^{r}(u) by the definition of the record-frozen control path. Let t′∈[0,t)t'\in[0,t). The control paths ara^{r} and ar′a^{r'} agree on all of [0,t′][0,t'], so the exceptional set in claim 3 of Existence, Uniqueness, Causality, and Measurability of the Open-Loop Aggregate Solution is empty (contained in the null set ∅\emptyset), and with p′=p=P(ω)p'=p=\mathsf{P}(\omega) that claim gives Σur′(ω)=Σur(ω)\Sigma^{r'}_u(\omega)=\Sigma^{r}_u(\omega) for all u∈[0,t′]u\in[0,t']. Since t′<tt'<t was arbitrary, Σur′(ω)=Σur(ω)\Sigma^{r'}_u(\omega)=\Sigma^{r}_u(\omega) for all u∈[0,t)u\in[0,t), and therefore Σˉur′(ω)=Σˉur(ω)\bar\Sigma^{r'}_u(\omega)=\bar\Sigma^{r}_u(\omega) for u∈[0,t)u\in[0,t), the regularisation being a function of the value at uu. For t=0t=0 both left limits are x0x_0. For t>0t>0, the left limit at tt is by claim 2(b) the common value of the path on an interval [t−δ,t)[t-\delta,t), which is determined by the values on [0,t)[0,t); hence Σˉt−r′(ω)=Σˉt−r(ω)\bar\Sigma^{r'}_{t-}(\omega)=\bar\Sigma^{r}_{t-}(\omega).

Non-anticipation (condition (ii)). By the identity, λtω,υ(πt−(r))=Nb~υ(Σˉt−πt−(r)(ω))=Nb~υ(Σˉt−r(ω))=λtω,υ(r)\lambda^{\omega,\upsilon}_t(\pi_{t-}(r))=N\tilde{b}^\upsilon(\bar\Sigma^{\pi_{t-}(r)}_{t-}(\omega))=N\tilde{b}^\upsilon(\bar\Sigma^{r}_{t-}(\omega))=\lambda^{\omega,\upsilon}_t(r). Thus λω\lambda^{\omega} is a causal intensity with bound NB~N\tilde{B}.

Step 4 (claim 4: the likelihood). Bounds and normalization. For every ω\omega, claims 2 and 4 of Survival Identity, Measurability, Event-Count Recursion, and Normalization of the Likelihood of a Causal Intensity applied to the causal intensity λω\lambda^{\omega} with bound λˉ=NB~\bar\lambda=N\tilde{B} give 0≤ℓω≤(NB~)k0\le\ell^{\omega}\le(N\tilde{B})^{k} on R(k)\mathbf{R}^{(k)} and ∫Rℓω dρ=1\int_{\mathbf{R}}\ell^{\omega}\,d\rho=1.

The formula on G\mathsf{G}. Let (r,ω)∈G(r,\omega)\in\mathsf{G}, r=(k,t,v)r=(k,\mathbf{t},v). By Likelihood of a Causal Intensity on the Observation Record Space, ℓω(r)=(∏i=1kλtiω,vi(r))exp⁡(−∫[0,T]λsω,tot(r) ds)\ell^{\omega}(r)=\bigl(\prod_{i=1}^{k}\lambda^{\omega,v_i}_{t_i}(r)\bigr)\exp(-\int_{[0,T]}\lambda^{\omega,\mathrm{tot}}_s(r)\,ds) with λtiω,vi(r)=Nb~vi(Σˉti−r(ω))\lambda^{\omega,v_i}_{t_i}(r)=N\tilde{b}^{v_i}(\bar\Sigma^{r}_{t_i-}(\omega)) and λsω,tot(r)=Nb~tot(Σˉs−r(ω))\lambda^{\omega,\mathrm{tot}}_s(r)=N\tilde{b}^{\mathrm{tot}}(\bar\Sigma^{r}_{s-}(\omega)). On G\mathsf{G}, Σˉr(ω)=Σr(ω)\bar\Sigma^{r}(\omega)=\Sigma^{r}(\omega) by claim 2(c), and the integrands s↦b~tot(Σs−r(ω))s\mapsto\tilde{b}^{\mathrm{tot}}(\Sigma^{r}_{s-}(\omega)) and s↦b~tot(Σsr(ω))s\mapsto\tilde{b}^{\mathrm{tot}}(\Sigma^{r}_{s}(\omega)) are bounded, measurable on [0,T][0,T] (the first by condition (i) and (P2), the second likewise from claim 2(d)), and agree on D=[0,T]∖{θ1,…,θK}D=[0,T]\setminus\{\theta_1,\dots,\theta_K\} by claim 2(b); the complement of DD in [0,T][0,T] is a finite set, hence a null set for the restricted Lebesgue measure, one-point sets having Lebesgue measure zero by claim 4 of Existence of Lebesgue Measure on the Real Line. By claim 6 of Restricted Lebesgue Measure and Integral Toolkit on a Compact Interval the integral over [0,T][0,T] of each integrand equals the integral of its product with the indicator of DD, and these products coincide; hence the two integrals agree. This gives the displayed formula.

Joint measurability. We use the map Λυ\Lambda^{\upsilon} of Step 3 and the measurability of Λtot=∑υΛυ\Lambda^{\mathrm{tot}}=\sum_\upsilon\Lambda^{\upsilon} (claim 2 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions).

(i) The survival factor. The measure ρ\rho is σ\sigma-finite: R\mathbf{R} is the countable union of its cells, and ρ(Ck,v)=λk(Dk(T))\rho(C_{k,v})=\lambda_k(D_k(T)) is finite by The Ordered Time Simplex: Borel Measurability and Volume, while ρ(C∅)=1\rho(C_\emptyset)=1. Hence the product measure ρ⊗P\rho\otimes P on R⊗F\mathcal{R}\otimes\mathcal{F} exists and is σ\sigma-finite (the sets C×ΩC\times\Omega, CC a cell, cover R×Ω\mathbf{R}\times\Omega and have finite measure), and λ[0,T]\lambda_{[0,T]} is finite. Apply the Tonelli theorem to the nonnegative B[0,T]⊗(R⊗F)\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes(\mathcal{R}\otimes\mathcal{F})-measurable function Λtot\Lambda^{\mathrm{tot}} on [0,T]×(R×Ω)[0,T]\times(\mathbf{R}\times\Omega): the map (r,ω)↦∫[0,T]Λtot(s,r,ω) ds(r,\omega)\mapsto\int_{[0,T]}\Lambda^{\mathrm{tot}}(s,r,\omega)\,ds is R⊗F\mathcal{R}\otimes\mathcal{F}-measurable. For fixed (r,ω)(r,\omega) the integrand is the section s↦λsω,tot(r)s\mapsto\lambda^{\omega,\mathrm{tot}}_s(r), so this integral is the one appearing in Likelihood of a Causal Intensity on the Observation Record Space; it is real-valued, bounded by l~NB~T\tilde{l}N\tilde{B}T, since the integrand takes values in [0,l~NB~][0,\tilde{l}N\tilde{B}]. Composing with the map y↦exp⁡(−y)y\mapsto\exp(-y), which is continuous on R\mathbb{R} by Basic Properties of the Exponential Function (Sequentially Continuous Functions of Measurable Euclidean Maps are Measurable with E=RE=\mathbb{R}), shows that (r,ω)↦exp⁡(−∫[0,T]λsω,tot(r) ds)(r,\omega)\mapsto\exp(-\int_{[0,T]}\lambda^{\omega,\mathrm{tot}}_s(r)\,ds) is R⊗F\mathcal{R}\otimes\mathcal{F}-measurable.

(ii) The event factors. Fix a cell Ck,vC_{k,v} with k≥1k\ge1 and i∈{1,…,k}i\in\{1,\dots,k\}. The map Θi:Ck,v×Ω→[0,T]×R×Ω\Theta_i:C_{k,v}\times\Omega\to[0,T]\times\mathbf{R}\times\Omega, Θi(r,ω)=(ti(r),r,ω)\Theta_i(r,\omega)=(\mathsf{t}_i(r),r,\omega), is measurable from (R⊗F)∣Ck,v×Ω(\mathcal{R}\otimes\mathcal{F})|_{C_{k,v}\times\Omega} to B[0,T]⊗(R⊗F)\mathcal{B}_{[0,T]}\otimes(\mathcal{R}\otimes\mathcal{F}) by (P1): the preimage of a rectangle B×E′B\times E' is (ti−1(B)×Ω)∩E′∩(Ck,v×Ω)(\mathsf{t}_i^{-1}(B)\times\Omega)\cap E'\cap(C_{k,v}\times\Omega). Hence (r,ω)↦λtiω,vi(r)=Λvi∘Θi(r,ω)(r,\omega)\mapsto\lambda^{\omega,v_i}_{t_i}(r)=\Lambda^{v_i}\circ\Theta_i(r,\omega) is measurable on Ck,v×ΩC_{k,v}\times\Omega, and so is the finite product over ii (claim 3 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions). On C∅×ΩC_\emptyset\times\Omega the product is the constant 11.

(iii) Assembly. On each piece Ck,v×ΩC_{k,v}\times\Omega of the countable measurable partition of R×Ω\mathbf{R}\times\Omega into the rectangles Ck,v×ΩC_{k,v}\times\Omega, the map (r,ω)↦ℓω(r)(r,\omega)\mapsto\ell^{\omega}(r) is the product of the measurable maps of (i) and (ii), hence measurable with respect to the restricted σ\sigma-algebra; by (P4) it is R⊗F\mathcal{R}\otimes\mathcal{F}-measurable. ■\blacksquare
