e are facing evaluation of the expectation
under some probability measure and filtration
where the

processes. We are looking for a process
that would deliver the property
Hence, we would like to have
The last expression may be regarded as the formula

The normalization by

Note that such
is a martingale. In addition, the
must be positive. Thus, we also require that
would not change sign.
Another way to arrive to the same conclusion would be to
