Stochastic Continuity


Stochastic continuity of a stochastic process (X_t)_(t>=0) taking values in Euclidean space R^d means that

 lim_(s->t)Pr(||X_s-X_t||>epsilon)=0

for all t>=0 and epsilon>0, with s>=0. Here, ||·|| is the Euclidean norm and Pr denotes probability. It is also called continuity in probability (Sato 1999, p. 3).
