Purpose

In this work, the authors are interested in the notion of vector valued and set valued Pettis integrable pramarts. The notion of pramart is more general than that of martingale. Every martingale is a pramart, but the converse is not generally true.

Design/methodology/approach

In this work, the authors present several properties and convergence theorems for Pettis integrable pramarts with convex weakly compact values in a separable Banach space.

Findings

The existence of the conditional expectation of Pettis integrable mutifunctions indexed by bounded stopping times is provided. The authors prove the almost sure convergence in Mosco and linear topologies of Pettis integrable pramarts with values in (cwk(E)) the family of convex weakly compact subsets of a separable Banach space.

Originality/value

The purpose of the present paper is to present new properties and various new convergence results for convex weakly compact valued Pettis integrable pramarts in Banach space.

The set valued (alias multivalued) integration is useful in several areas of mathematics such as mathematical economics, image processing and analysis and theoretical statistics.

Various convergence results of set valued martingales and pramarts were studied in Bochner integration by several authors; see, Akhiat et al. [1], Akhiat et al. [2], Akhiat et al. [3], Castaing and Salvadori [4], Choukairi [5], Egghe [6], Ezzaki [7], Ezzaki and Tahri [8], Talagrand [9]. On the other hand, less of them is known in the case of Pettis integration. In the theory of integration in infinite-dimensional space, Pettis integrability is a more general concept than that of Bochner integrability. Examples of Pettis integrable functions, which are not Bochner integrable, are given in [10, Remark 5.2] and [11].

In this work, we are interested in the notion of vector valued and set valued Pettis integrable pramarts. The notion of pramart is more general than that of martingale. Every martingale is a pramart, but the converse is not generally true; see Egghe [6]. The purpose of the present paper is to present new properties and various new convergence results for convex weakly compact valued Pettis integrable pramarts in Banach space.

Our approach is based on a weak compactness result for Pettis integrable multifunctions and new results upon the existence of the conditional expectation of Pettis integrable multifunction developed in [12].

The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we give some preliminaries and needed results. In Section 3, we present the notion of Pettis integrability of convex weakly compact valued multifunction (alias set valued maps) indexed by bounded stopping times. The existence of the conditional expectation of aforementioned Pettis integrable multifunctions is also provided. In Section 4, we present some properties and almost sure convergence of vector valued Pettis integrable pramarts. By using the results stated in Section 3 and a weak compactness result for Pettis integrable multifunctions, we prove the almost sure convergence in Mosco and linear topologies of Pettis integrable pramarts with values in (cwk(E)) the family of convex weakly compact subsets of a separable Banach space E.

Throughout this paper, (Ω,A,P) is a complete probability space, (An)n1 is an increasing sequence of sub σ-algebras of A such that A is the σ-algebra generated by n1An, E is a separable Banach space and E* is its topological dual. Let D* be a countable dense subset of E* with respect to the Mackey topology τ(E*, E) and B* be the closed unit ball of E*.

We denote by cc(E)(resp.ccb(E))(resp.cwk(E)) the set of nonempty convex and closed (resp. convex, closed and bounded) (resp. convex weakly compact) subsets of E. For C ∈ 2E\∅, we denote by clA and co¯A the closure and the closed convex hull of A respectively and define |C| = sup{‖x‖: x ∈ C}.

Let C ∈ cc(E), the distance function and the support function associated to C are defined respectively by

For any A, B ∈ cc(E), the Hausdorff distance between A and B is defined by

LE1(resp.L1) denotes the space of A-measurable and Bochner integrable functions defined from Ω to E (resp. the space of A-measurable and integrable function defined from Ω to R).

A set valued function X: Ω → cc(E) is A-measurable if for every open set UE, the set

is in A see, [13].

A measurable set valued function is called a random set.

Let (An)n1 be a sequence in cc(E) and A ∈ cc(E) we define

and

where s (resp. w) is the strong (resp. weak) topology in E and (Anj)j1 is subsequence of (An)n1.

We say that (An)n1 is Mosco convergent to A, and we write M − lim  An = A if A = s − li An = w − ls An.

We say that (An)n1 is convergent to A in the linear topology, and we write A = τL − lim  An if and only if the following properties are satisfied:

−  limnδ*(x*, An) = δ*(x*, A), ∀x* ∈ E*;

−  limnd(x, An) = d(x, A), ∀x ∈ E.

For more properties of these topologies, see [14, Theorem 3.4]. On cc(E), the linear topology is stronger than the Mosco topology; see, [14, Theorem 5.1].

Definition 21.

A measurable functionf: Ω → Eis said to be a selector of a random setXiff(ω) ∈ X(ω) for allω ∈ Ω.

A measurable function f: Ω → E is said to be scalarly integrable if <x*,f(.)>L1 for each x* ∈ E*.

Definition 22.

We say thatfis Pettis integrable if it is scalarly integrable, and for eachAA, there existsfA ∈ Esuch that

fAis called the Pettis integral offoverA, and it is denoted byAfdP.

We denote by PE1(A) the space of all Pettis-integrable functions defined from Ω to E. PE1(A) is endowed with the norm ‖.‖Pe defined by

An equivalent norm is given by |f|Pe=sup{AfdP:AA}.

Definition 23.

A subsetHPE1is said to be uniformly Pettis integrable if   supf ∈ HfPe < , and for eachɛ > 0, there existsδ > 0 such thatAA,

A random set X with values in cwk(E) is said to be scalarly integrable if ∀ x* ∈ B*, δ*(x*, X) is integrable.

Definition 24.

A random setX: Ω → cwk(E) is said to be Pettis integrable incwk(E) if it is scalarly integrable, and for eachAA, there existsCA ∈ cwk(E) such that

CAis called the Pettis integral ofXoverA, and it is denoted byAX dP.

We denote by Pcwk(E)1(A) (resp. Pccb(E)1(A)) the set of all Pettis-integrable random sets in cwk(E) (resp. ccb(E)).

Let SX1(A) (resp. SXPe(A)) the set of all A-measurable and Bochner integrable (resp. Pettis integrable) selectors of X,

X is said to be Aumann–Pettis integrable if it is scalarly integrable and SXPe is nonempty. The Aumann-Pettis integral of X over AA is defined by {AfdP,fSXPe(A)}.

Remark 1.

  1. Every AumannPettis integrable random setX: Ω → cc(E) is Pettis integrable incc(E) (see, El Amri and Hess [15, Theorem 3.7]) .

  2. A random setXdefined from Ω tocwk(E) is Pettis integrable incwk(E) if and only if {δ*(x*, X(.)), x* ∈ B*} is uniformly integrable, see [15, Theorem 5.4]. In particular, every Pettis integrable random setXincwk(E) is AumannPettis integrable.

Before going further, we recall first the following results, which are one of the basic tools in the study of Pettis integrable multivalued random sets (resp. random variables).

Definition 25.

A sequence(Xn)n1of random set with values incc(E) is said to be adapted to(An)n1if for anyn ≥ 1,XnisAn-measurable.

Definition 26.

Letv:AEbe a measure. We say thatvis ofσ-bounded variation if there exists a countable partition(An)n1of Ω inAsuch that the restrictionv|AnofvtoAnis a measure of bounded variation, for eachn ≥ 1.

Proposition 27.

[1, Proposition 3.1]

Let(An)nN*be a sequence incwk(E). Assume that there existsA ∈ cwk(E) and a sequence(Bn)nN*incwk(E) such that:

  1. MlimnAn=A.

  2. limnH(An,Bn)=0.

Then

Proposition 28.

[1, Proposition 3.2]

LetD*={em*,mN*}be a dense sequence inB* with respect to the Mackey topologyτ(E*, E). Let(An)nN*be a sequence incwk(E) andAs − liAn ∈ cwk(E).

Assume that

Then the following equality holds

Before giving the first main result of this section, let us recall the following definition.

A function τ:ΩN*{+} is called a stopping time with respect to (An)nN* if for each nN*, {τ=n}An. The set of all bounded stopping times with respect to An is denoted by T.

For τ ∈ T, we define the σ-algebra

and

It is well known in the literature that the conditional expectation of Pettis-integrable random variables (resp. random sets) does not generally exist. Recently, several authors have studied the existence of this operator (see, Akhiat, Castaing et Ezzaki [1], Akhiat, El Harami et Ezzaki [16], El Allali et Ezzaki [12], El Harami et Ezzaki [17], Ezzaki et al. [18] and Ziat [19]).

Theorem 31.

[1, Theorem 4.3 ]

LetBbe a subσ-algebra ofAandfbe a Pettis integrableE-valued function such thatEB|f|0,.

Then there exists a unique a.s.B-measurable, Pettis integrableE-valued function, denoted byEBf, which enjoys the following property:

For every hL(B), one has

Definition 32.

LetBbe a sub-σ-algebra ofAandXbe a Pettis integrable random set with values in cwk(E). We say that the conditional expectation ofXwith respect toBexists if:

  1. fSXPe,EBf exists.

  2. There exists a B-measurable random set G such that

(32.1)
Remark 2.

If the conditional expectation ofXexists, then it is unique a.s. In fact,

Assume that there exists G1 and G2 which satisfies (32.1). Then for each x* ∈ E*

By [13, Lemma III.35], G1 = G2a.e.

Proposition 33.

LetXbe an Aumann-Pettis integrable random set with values incwk(E) such that

  1. fSXPe,EBf exists,

  2. There exists a random set G, B-measurable such that

Then EBX exists and EBX=G.

Proof.

Since G is B-measurable, it follows from El Amri and Hess [15, Theorem 3.9] that IA(B)(G)=IA(G). fSXPe,

Then

Hence

Conversely, let f ∈ IA(X)

Then

So,

Before giving the first main result of this section, let us present useful theorem due to El Allali and Ezzaki [20], which will be used in the proof of theorem 36.

Theorem 34.

LetBbe a subσ-algebra ofAandXbe an Aumann-Pettis integrable random set with values incwk(E) such that there exists a countable partition(Bk)k1of Ω inBsuch that

Then.

(1) EBXexists, and it is with values incwk(E).

(2) EBX=co¯{EBfn,n1} a.s.,

(3) AB, AXdP=AEBXdP,

(4) SEBXPe={EBf/fSXPe}¯Pe.

Proof.

The proof of (1) and (2) of the theorem where proved in [20, theorem 3.9], we will provide some details of the proof for the sake of completeness.

Let M={EBf,fSXPe}. It is clear that MPE(B), convex, nonempty and decomposable with respect to B. Let D={xn*,n1} be a subset of B* such that xn*=yn*yn* with (yn*)n1 is a dense sequence in E* with respect to the Mackey topology τ(E*, E).

Let (EBfi)i1 be a sequence in M. We shall prove that the random set

is convex and weakly compact a.s.

Let n ≥ 1, Xn=X|Bn, Hn=H|Bn and Bn={ABn,AB}. It follows from [21, Theorem 3.2] that SXn1 is convex and weakly compact, then {EBnf,fSXn1} is convex and weakly compact. On the other hand SHn1(Bn){EBnf,fSXn1}. Indeed, let

G is Bn measurable and ∀i ≥ 1, EBnfi|Bn{EBnf,fSXn1}, on the other hand {EBnf,fSXn1} is closed and decomposable with respect to Bn, then it follows from [22, Lemma 1.3] that SG1(Bn){EBnf,fSXn1}, then SHn1(Bn)=co¯SG1(Bn){EBnf,fSXn1}.

Hence SHn1(Bn) is convex and weakly compact since it is closed. So it follows from [21, Theorem 3.2] that ∀n ≥ 1, Hn is convex and weakly compact a.s., then H is countably supported a.s. with respect to D. Thus by [12, Theorem 35] there exist a B-measurable random set L and a sequence (fn)n1SXPe such that L(w)=co¯{EBfn(w),n1} for each w ∈ Ω and SLPe(B)=M¯.Pe.

Let AB such that P(A) = 0 and L(w) ∈ cwk(E), ∀w ∈ Ω \ A. Let.

EBX(w)=L(w),wΩ\A.{0},wA.

EBX is a B-measurable random set with values in cwk(E) and SEBXPe(B)=SLPe(B)=M¯.Pe. Moreover, EBX(w)=co¯{EBfn(w),n1} a.s.

  1. Since EBX exists by (1) it is clear from the definition of conditional expectation (see definition 32)

  1. It follows from proposition 33 with G=EBX.

Proposition 35.

LetXbe an Aumann-Pettis integrable random set with values incwk(E) such that there exists a countable partition(Bn)n1of Ω inBthat satisfies

(35.1)

Then, {EBf/fSXPe} is closed in PE1.

Proof.

From (35.1), every selection of X.χBn is Bochner integrable then SX.χBn1(B)=SX.χBnPe(B)n1.

Since X is with values in cwk(E), by [21, Theorem 3.2] SX.χBnPe is weakly compact for each n ≥ 1. So

Now, let gPE1 such that there exists fnSXPe such that

For each n ≥ 1, g.χBn{EBf/fSX.χBnPe}¯Pe={EBf/fSX.χBnPe}. Then for each n ≥ 1, there exists hnSX.χBnPe such that gn=EBhn.

Set h=n1hn.χBn. It is clear that h is a selector of X.

Since X is Pettis integrable with values in cwk(E), h is Pettis integrable. On the other hand, g=EBh.

Hence {EBf/fSXPe} is closed in PE1.

In the following theorem, we prove the existence of the conditional expectation of Pettis integrable multifunctions indexed by bounded stopping times, which will allow us to well define the notion of vector valued and set valued pramart in the Pettis integration.

Theorem 36.

Let Y be a positive random variable such thatEA1Y< . Let(Xn)n1be a sequence of Pettis integrable random sets with values in a familycwk(E) such that

|Xn| ≤ Y ∀n ≥ 1. Letσandτ ∈ Tsuch thatτ ≥ σ. ThenXτis a Pettis integrable random set with values incwk(E) and the conditional expectation ofXτwith respect toAσexists, and satisfies the following properties;

(1) SEAσXτPe={EAσf/fSXτPe},

(2)AAσ,AXτdP=AEAσXτdP.

Proof.

For τT,

∀k ≥ 1, Xk is a Pettis integrable random set, then Xτ is a Pettis integrable random set in Pcwk(E)1(A).

In fact, Xτ is A-measurable, scalarly integrable and ∀x* ∈ E*, AA

Then Xτ is a Pettis integrable random set with values in cwk(E).

Now, we prove that the conditional expectation of Xτ with respect to Aσ exists.

Since Xτ=k=minτk=maxτXkχ[τ=k], ∀ω ∈ Ω, |Xτ(ω)| ≤ Y(ω).

The fact that EA1Y<, there exists a partition of Ω in A1 such that

Since A1Akk1 and

Thus by theorem 34, EAkXjχ[τ=j] exists ∀k ≥ 1.

The fact that,

Then EAσXτ exists and from proposition 33,

Now, we will show that AAσ,AXτdP=AEAσXτdP.

Let AAσ and set Bj = A ∩ [σ = j]

A=j=minσj=maxσBj so,

Then

Now, let us introduce some needed definitions and notions of pramarts (resp. subpramarts) in PE1(A) and in Pcwk(E)1(A).

Definition 37.

A Pettis integrable adapted sequence(Xn,An)n1with values incc(E) is said to be a martingale if for eachk ≥ n ≥ 1,EAnXkexists andXn=EAnXka.s.

Definition 38.

Let(Xn,An)n1be an adapted sequence inPE1(A). Assume that for everyσ, τT,τσthe conditional expectationEAσXτPE1(A)exists.

We say that(Xn,An)n1is a pramart if for everyɛ > 0, there isσɛTsuch that,

Definition 39.

Let(Xn,An)n1be an adapted sequence inLR1(A). We say that(Xn,An)n1is a subpramart if for everyɛ > 0, there isσɛTsuch that,

Definition 310.

Let(Xn,An)n1be an adapted sequence inPcwk(E)1(A). Assume that for everyσ, τT,τσthe conditional expectationEAσXτPcwk(E)1(A)exists.

We say that(Xn,An)nNis a pramart if for everyɛ > 0, there isσɛ ∈ Tsuch that,

Proposition 311.

LetBbe a subσ-algebra ofAandX: Ω → cwk(E) be a Pettis integrable random set such thatEB|X|<andfPE1(A), then

fSEBXPe if and only if Af(ω)dPAX(ω)dPforallAA.

Proof.

Let XPcwk(E)1(A) such that EB|X|< then by theorem 34, EBX exists and

Let fSEBXPe and (xm*)m1 be a dense sequence in E* with respect to Mackey topology τ(E*, E) and AA.

Then

Hence

Let show the converse implication, from [2, Lemma 3.4] ∀x* ∈ E*,

For every m ≥ 1

So,

So, there exists a negligible N = ∪mNm such that ∀ ω ∈ Ω \ N, xm*D*,

By [13, Lemma III.34], f(ω)EBX(ω) Then fSEBXPe.

Before presenting our convergence results, we recall the following definition and properties of multimeasure, which will be used in the proof of theorem 410 at the end of this section.

Definition 41.

letEbe any Banach space. A multimeasure is a map

M:A2E\such thatM(∅) = {0} and for every(An)n1inApairwise disjoint we have

Given a map M:Acwk(E):

  1. By Costé [23], M is a multimeasure if and only if for every x* ∈ E*, δ*(x*, M(.)) is a finite scalar measure.

  2. The variation of M is denoted by |M| and defined by

The sup is taken on all the finite partitions of A in A.

Now, we present the following Lemmas, which will be used in the proof of our main result in this section.

Lemma 42.

Let(Cn)n1be a sequence of Pettis integrable random sets with values incwk(E) satisfying the following conditions:

(1) There exists a Pettis integrable random set L with values incwk(E) such thatCn(.) ⊂ L(.) ∀n ≥ 1.

(2) limnδ*(x*,Cn(ω))exists∀ω ∈ Ω,∀x* ∈ D*.

Then there exists a Pettis integrable random setCwith values incwk(E) such that

Proof.

By assumption, Cn(ω) ⊂ L(ω), ∀ω ∈ Ω, ∀n ≥ 1, then (δ*(.,Cn(ω)))n1 is an equicontinuous sequence with respect to the Mackey topology τ(E*, E).

Let ω ∈ Ω, and set r(.) = limnδ*(., Cn(ω)). So r(.) is continuous with respect to the Mackey topology. Since r(.) is positively homogeneous and r(0) = 0, then there exists C(ω) ∈ cc(E) such that

So,

then C(ω) ∈ cwk(E), ∀ω ∈ Ω.

By [24, Lemma 5.2], C(.) is measurable.

Let us now prove that C(.) is Pettis integrable in cwk(E). By [15, Theorem 5.4] it is sufficient to prove that {δ*(x*, C(.)) x* ∈ B*} is uniformly integrable.

For every x* ∈ B*

Then

For every ɛ > 0, ∃δ > 0 such that AA, P(A) < δ

Then

So, {δ*(x*, C(.)), x* ∈ B*} is uniformly integrable.

The first application of lemma 42 in PE1 is the following lemma, which proofs the convergence in Pettis norm of Pettis integrable pramart. Since the notion of pramart is more general than that of martingale, the result proved here generalizes the convergence in Pettis norm of martingales proved in [25, lemma 1.4] and [18, lemma 2].

Lemma 43.

Assume thatE* is separable. Let(fn,An)n1be a pramart inPE1(A)such that the following conditions are satisfied:

  1. There is a Pettis integrable random set L: Ω → cwk(E) such that fn(ω) ∈ L(ω) for all n ≥ 1 and all ω ∈ Ω.

  2. For each n ≥ 1, EAn|L|<.

Then there exists fPE1(A) such that.

fn − fPe → 0.

Proof.

By (2)n, knEAnfk exists.

Since fn(ω) ∈ L(ω) then

Then for each x* ∈ B*, (<x*,fn(.)>,An)n1 is a L1-bounded pramart. Then from Theorem 1.1 in [26] (<x*,fn(.)>)n1 converges a.s. to φx*(.).

So by lemma 42 there exists f(.) such that for each x* ∈ E*,

We conclude that

Since L is Pettis integrable with values in cwk(E) then {δ*(x*, L), x* ∈ B*} is uniformly integrable, so it is not hard to see that ∀x* ∈ B*, { < x*, fn(.) > , n ≥ 1} is uniformly integrable pramart. Then

Since EAn|L|<, there exists an A1-measurable partition (Bk)k1 of Ω defined by

For each k ≥ 1, set fnk=fn1Bk. So (fnk,An)n1 is a bounded pramart in LE1(A).

Then from Akhiat and Ezzaki [3], there exists a unique martingale (Mnk)n1 in LE1(A) and a pramart (Znk)n1 in LE1(A) such that

Moreover for each x* ∈ E*,

But as <x*,Znk(.)> converge to Zero a.s.

We get

Since (Mnk)n1 is a bounded martingale, so by Theorem 5.3.27 in Edgar [27].

Hence, the sequence (fnk)n1 converge a.s. to 1Bkf=fkk1.

Set Mn=n1Mnk1Bk.

So,

Put.

fk(w)=f(ω),ifωBk,0,ifωBk.

Then there exists a negligible set N = ∪kNk, such that

Then by [16, Theorem 2.4], we have ‖fn − fPe → 0.

The second application of lemma 42 is the following equivalence between the convergence in Pettis norm of a Pettis integrable adapted sequence and the nature of his scalar product.

Lemma 44.

LetLbe a Pettis integrable random set with values incwk(E). Let(fn,An)n1be an adapted sequence inPE1(A)such thatfn(.) ∈ L(.),∀n ≥ 1 andEAn|L|<a.s.∀n ≥ 1.

Then

Proof.

If fnPef, this implies that

So

On the other hand, since fn(.) ∈ L(.), ∀n ≥ 1, we have

So, by [28, Lemma 6] x*E*(<x*,fn(.)>,An)n1 is a bounded pramart in LR1.

The converse is a direct consequence of Lemma 43.

By using theorem 36 and a direct application of lemma 42, we prove the convergence in weak topology of cwk(E)-valued Pettis integrable pramart.

Lemma 45.

Let(Xn)n1be a sequence of Pettis integrable pramart with values incwk(E) satisfying the following conditions:

  1. There exists a Pettis integrable random set L with values in cwk(E) such that XnL ∀n ≥ 1,

  2. For each n ≥ 1, EAn|L|<.

Then there exists a Pettis integrable random setXwith values incwk(E) such that

Proof.

By theorem 36, EAσXτ exists ∀ σ, τ ∈ T and τ ≥ σ. Then the notion of Pettis integrable pramart with values in cwk(E) is well defined.

Since (Xn)n1 is a pramart in Pcwk(E)1(A) then (δ*(x*,Xn))n1 is a pramart too. By hypothesis Xn(ω) ⊂ L(ω) for all nN* and for all ω ∈ Ω then

So (δ*(x*,Xn),An)n1 is a L1-bounded pramart, we deduce that it admits a limit.

Then by lemma 42, there exists a Pettis integrable and measurable random set X with values in cwk(E) such that

The following theorem is a new version in Pettis integration of theorem 3.3 in Choukairi [5] provided in Bochner integration.

Theorem 46.

Let(Xn)n1be a Pettis integrable pramart with values incwk(E) that satisfying the following conditions:

  1. There exists a Pettis integrable random set L with values in cwk(E) such that XnL ∀n ≥ 1,

  2. For each n ≥ 1, EAn|L|<.

Then there exists a Pettis integrable random setXwith values incwk(E) such that.

(a) limnδ*(x*,AXndP)=δ*(x*,AXdP),x*E*andforeveryAA.

(b) MlimnEAnX=Xa.s.

(c) sliSXnPeSXPe.

Proof.

From lemma 45, there exists a Pettis integrable and measurable random set X with values in cwk(E) such that

(46.1)
By uniform integrability of {δ*(x*, L), x* ∈ B*} we conclude that {δ*(x*, Xn), x* ∈ B*, n ≥ 1} is uniformly integrable.

Then by (46.1) and the uniform integrability of {δ*(x*, Xn), n ≥ 1} we have for x* ∈ E* and for every AA,

(b) MlimnEAnX=Xa.s.

By (2) and theorem 34, EAnX exists for each n ≥ 1 by El Allali et Ezzaki [12, Theorem 4.11], we have

(c) Let fsliSXnPe by definition of s − li, there exists (fn)n1(SXnPe)n1 such that

Then by lemma 44, (<x*,fn(.)>,An) is a bounded pramart in LR1, and

By (a), AfdPAXdP,AA,(46.2)

and

Then there exists a negligible set N=mNxm* such that ∀ω ∈ Ω \ N, f(ω) ∈ X(ω).

Since X is in Pcwk(E)1, hence f is Pettis integrable. From (46.2) and proposition 311 fSXPe.

The following lemma is a generalization in Pettis integration of lemma 6.1 in Castaing et al. [29].

Lemma 47.

Assume that(xm*)m1is a dense sequence inB* with respect to the Mackey topology. LetXPcwk(E)1(A)such thatEA1|X|<.

Let g be a positive random variable such thatEA1g<, and(Xn)n1be a pramart inPcwk(E)1(A)such that |Xn| ≤ g.

Then the following holds:

for allm ≥ 1,σ, τ ∈ T, τ ≥ σ.
Proof.

From theorem 36, EAσXτ exists ∀τ ≥ σ and EAσX exists.

We may apply the techniques developed by Castaing et al. [29].

For each m, n ≥ 1, let us set

Let σ, τ ∈ T, τ ≥ σ and let

Now we prove that |EAσφm,τ(.)|EAσ|φm,τ(.)| a.s.

Let (xm*)m1 be a dense sequence in B*. Since (Xn,An)n1 is a sequence of Pettis integrable pramart with values in cwk(E), then for each xm*B* we have (δ*(xm*,Xn(.))) is a real valued pramart.

For each xm*B* by theorem 36,

Then

Thus by applying the Jensen’s inequality for every m1|EAσφm,τ(.)|EAσ|φm,τ(.)| a.s.

Then we have,

Consequently, by definition VIII.1.14 of Egghe [6], (([δ*(xm*,EAnX)δ*(xm*,Xn)]+)n1)m1 is uniform sequence of subpramarts.

Now, we present some convergence results of set valued Pettis integrable pramarts with convex weakly compact values in a separable Banach space E.

Theorem 48.

Let(Xn)n1be a Pettis integrable pramart with values incwk(E) satisfying the following conditions:

  1. There exists a Pettis integrable random set L with values incwk(E) such thatXnL ∀n ≥ 1.

  2. For eachn ≥ 1,EAn|L|< .

Then there exists a Pettis integrable random setXwith values incwk(E) such that.

  • (a)limnH(EAnX,Xn)=0a.s.

  • (b)MlimnXn=Xa.s.

  • (c)limnd(x,Xn)=d(x,X)a.s.xE.

Proof.

(a) We will prove that limnH(EAnX,Xn)=0a.s.

By theorem 46, we have

From lemma 45,

(48.1)

By (48.1) there exists a negligible N such that ∀ω ∈ Ω \ N, ∀x* ∈ E*

Then X(ω) ⊂ L(ω) so, EAn|X(.)|EAn|L(.)| a.s. ∀n ≥ 1.

From (1) and (2)EA1|Xn|EA1|L|< and (Xn,An)n1 is a pramart.

Let (xk*)k1 be a dense sequence in B* with respect to the Mackey topology. By lemma 47 the sequence ((δ*(xk*,EAnX)δ*(xk*,Xn))n1)k1 is uniform subpramart.

By (2) there exists a partition (Aj)j1 of Ω in A1 defined by

(48.2)

Since |Xn| ≤ |L|, then

So,

For each n ≥ 1,
(48.3)

Since AjA1 then AjAn.

So, by definition of the conditional expectation of the positive random variable

By (48.2) and (48.3),

Then

So for every j ≥ 1,

Then (([δ*(xk*,EAnX)δ*(xk*,Xn)]+)n1)k1 is a bounded uniform sequence of positive subpramarts on Aj. Applying Egghe [6, Lemma VIII.1.15], there exists a negligible Njk such that ωAj\Njk

Since (Aj)j1 is a partition of Ω then there exists a negligible N=j1k1Njk such that ∀ω ∈ Ω\N

(b) Since limnH(EAnX,Xn)=0a.s. so, (b) is deduced from proposition 27.

(c) Now we will prove that limnd(x, Xn(.)) = d(x, X(.)), a.s. ∀ x ∈ E.

From the scalarly convergence of (Xn)n1 and proposition 28 we get

When the pramarts (Xn)n1 in theorem 48 are single-valued, we have the following corollary.

Corollary 49.

Let(Xn,An)n1be a sequence of Pettis integrable E-valued pramart such that:

  1. There exists a Pettis integrable random set L with values in cwk(E) such that Xn(ω) ∈ L(ω) ∀n ≥ 1 and ω ∈ Ω,

  2. For each n ≥ 1, EAn|L|<.

Then there exists a Pettis integrable random variable X with values inEsuch that

So that

Proof.

Since (Xn,An)n1 is a Pettis integrable pramart and Xn(ω) ∈ L(ω) for each n ≥ 1 and each ω ∈ Ω then

So, the L1-bounded pramart (<x*,Xn(.)>)n1 converges a.s. Then   limn < x*, Xn(.) > exists.

Since L is in Pcwk(E)1 by lemma 42, there exists XPE1 such that

By (2) and theorem 31, EAnX exists. So consider the regular martingale EAnX such that

By theorem 48, we have

By applying Akhiat, Castaing et Ezzaki [1, Proposition 5.1] we have limnEAnX=Xa.s.

Then we conclude that

The following theorem stated in Pettis integration generalizes a result obtained in Castaing and Salvadori [4, theorem 6.9] in Bochner integration.

Theorem 410.

Assume thatEhas RNP andE* has RNP.

Let (Xn)n1 be a Pettis integrable pramart with values in Pcwk(E)1(A) satisfying the following conditions:

  1. |Xn|g for all n ≥ 1 where g is a positive function such that EA1g<,

  2. {δ*(x*,Xn),n1} is uniformly integrable,

  3. For each AA, the set {∪n ≥ 1AXndP, n ≥ 1} is relatively weakly compact.

Then there exists a Pettis integrable random setXwith values incwk(E) such that.

  • (a)limnH(EAnX,Xn)=0a.s.

  • (b)MlimnXn=Xa.s.

  • (c)limnd(x,Xn)=d(x,X)a.s.xE.

Proof.

We will prove that

Further, from (2) for each x* ∈ E*, the L1-bounded pramart (δ*(x*,Xn))n1 converge a.s.

In other words for each x* ∈ E* there exists a function φx* such that

(410.1)

Now assume that for each AA, the set {AXndP, n ≥ 1} is include in a convex weakly compact subset denoted by KA.

Set ∀n ≥ 1 Mn(A) = AXndP, for each AA.

Since (Xn,An)n1 is with values in cwk(E). Then by El Amri and Hess [15, Theorem 5.4] Mn(.) is a cwk(E)-valued.

The fact that, (Xn,An)n1 is Pettis integrable, implies that Mn is a multimeasure for all n ≥ 1.

∀x* ∈ E* set,

By (2) and (410.1) a sequence (δ*(x*,Xn(.))n1 converges in L1 to φx*x*E*.

Then AA,

(410.2)

So,

Since for each. AAMn(A)=AXndP

So,

By lemma 42 there exists M(A)Pcwk(E)1(A) such that,

By (410.2)

Since φx*L1 then for every x* ∈ E*, δ*(x*, M(.)) is a finite scalar measure. So M is a multimeasure.

Let proof that M is of σ-bounded variation.

As EA1g<, then there exists (Bk)k1 a partition of Ω in A1 such that

Let Bj fixed and (Ai)i1 a partition of Bj then

Then

So, M is of σ-bounded variation then by theorem 4.8 in Ziat [19] there exists Ameasurable multifunction X in Pcwk(E)1(A) such that

Then

Hence
If we put |L| = g, so (a), (b) and (c) follow as in the proof of theorem 48.
