Continuous Ocone Martingales as Weak Limits of Rescaled Martingales

Harry van Zanten, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam


Abstract
Consider a martingale $M$ with bounded jumps and two sequences $a_n, b_n to infty$. We show that if the rescaled martingales

M^n_t =frac{1}{sqrt{a_n}}M_{b_n t}

converge weakly, then the limit is necessarily a continous Ocone martingale. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the weak convergence of the rescaled martingales are also given.
