In paricular, he equaliy P n = P holds, since Z κ,n = 1. 6 Processes κ i and κ i are maringales under P i and P i, respecively.

For any i = 1,..., n, he process X i admis he inegral represenaion κ i = σs i dψ i (M) s and κ i = (0,] (0,] ζ i s d Ψ i (M) s where σ i = (σ i,1,..., σ i,k ) and ζ i = (ζ i,1,..., ζ i,k ) are R k -valued, F-predicable processes ha can be chosen arbirarily. The (P i, F)-maringale Ψ i (M l ) is given by [ Ψ i (M l ) = M l (ln Z κ,i ) c, M l,c] 0<s 1 Z κ,i s Z κ,i s M l s. An analogous formula holds for he Girsanov ransform Ψ i (M l ).
