A class of remarkable submartingales

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the special class of positive local submartingales (Xt) of the form Xt=Nt+At, where the measure is carried by the set {t:Xt=0}. We show that many examples of stochastic processes studied in the literature are in this class and propose a unified approach based on martingale techniques for studying them. In particular, we establish some martingale characterizations for these processes and compute explicitly some distributions involving the pair (Xt,At). We also associate with X a solution to the Skorokhod's stopping problem for probability measures on the positive half-line.
