Stochastic Gronwall inequality

Stochastic Gronwall inequality is a generalization of Gronwall's inequality and has been used for proving the well-posedness of path-dependent stochastic differential equations with local monotonicity and coercivity assumption with respect to supremum norm.[1][2]

Statement edit

Let   be a non-negative right-continuous  -adapted process. Assume that   is a deterministic non-decreasing càdlàg function with   and let   be a non-decreasing and càdlàg adapted process starting from  . Further, let   be an  - local martingale with   and càdlàg paths.

Assume that for all  ,

  where  .

and define  . Then the following estimates hold for   and  :[1][2]

  • If   and   is predictable, then  ;
  • If   and   has no negative jumps, then  ;
  • If   then  ;

Proof edit

It has been proven by Lenglart's inequality.[1]
