We consider a sequence (X)-1 of i.i.d. random variables such that
P(X₁ = 1) = P(X₁ = −1) = 1/2.
Consider the filtration (F)1 given by
=
Fn(X1,..., Xn).
For all n N, let Sn ==
Xbe the random walk. We have seen in class that the
process (f(Sn)) is a martingale if and only if f satisfies D2f = 0, where
n=0
D2f(x) = f(x + 1) − 2f(x) + f(x − 1).

(a) Use the result above to prove again that (en) No is not a martingale.

(b) We consider a process (Y)-0 given by Y₁ = f(n, Sn). Show that (Yn) is a martin-
gale provided that
-
f(n+1, x + 1) − 2f(n, x) + f(n + 1, x − 1) = 0,
-
for all n, x.
(c) Let Y = pen with p = ete. Use (b) to prove that (Y) is a martingale.

(d) Since (Y) is a martingale, use the Martingale Representation Theorem guarantees
that there exists a previsible process (Zn) such that Y₁ = In = (Z · S)n. Determine
Zn and prove that it is previsible.
