From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the Kolmogorov continuity theorem is a theorem that guarantees that a stochastic process that satisfies certain constraints on the moments of its increments will be continuous (or, more precisely, have a "continuous version"). It is credited to the Soviet mathematician Andrey Nikolaevich Kolmogorov.
Let be some complete metric space, and let be a stochastic process. Suppose that for all times , there exist positive constants such that
for all . Then there exists a modification of that is a continuous process, i.e. a process such that
Furthermore, the paths of are locally -Hölder-continuous for every .
In the case of Brownian motion on , the choice of constants , , will work in the Kolmogorov continuity theorem. Moreover, for any positive integer , the constants , will work, for some positive value of that depends on and .
