Does mean-square differentiability imply mean-square continuity?

We say that a random process $X_t$ is mean-square differentiable at time $t_0$ if there is a random process $X_{t_0}'$ such that
$$lim_{tto t_0} mathbb{E}Big[big(X_{t_0}' - frac{X_t - X_{t_0}}{t-t_0}big)^2Big]=0$$
We say that a random process $X_t$ is mean-square continuous at time $t_0$ if
$$lim_{tto t_0} mathbb{E}big[(X_{t} - X_{t_0})^2big]=0$$



From calculus, we know that differentiability implies continuity. Does the same statement hold in stochastic calculus?



More formally, suppose a process is mean-square differentiable for all $tin mathbb{R}$. Is this process mean-square continuous for all $tinmathbb{R}$?

          Yes, that's true.



          Using the elementary inequality $$(x+y)^2 leq 2x^2+2y^2, qquad x,y in mathbb{R}$$ we find



          $$begin{align*} (X_t-X_{t_0})^2 &= (t-t_0)^2 left( frac{X_t-X_{t_0}}{t-t_0} - X_{t_0}' + X_{t_0}' right)^2 \ &leq 2 (t-t_0)^2 left( frac{X_t-X_{t_0}}{t-t_0}-X_{t_0}' right)^2 + 2(t-t_0)^2 (X_{t_0}')^2. end{align*}$$



          Taking expectations on both sides we get



          $$begin{align*} mathbb{E}((X_t-X_{t_0})^2) &leq 2(t-t_0)^2 underbrace{mathbb{E} left[ left( frac{X_t-X_{t_0}}{t-t_0}-X_{t_0}' right)^2 right]}_{xrightarrow{t to t_0} 0} + 2 underbrace{(t-t_0)^2}_{xrightarrow{t to t_0} 0} mathbb{E}((X_{t_0}')^2) \ &xrightarrow{t to t_0} 0. end{align*}$$

          • Thank you! One note: from this proof, it looks like this should be true only when $X_{t_0}'$ is second order, since we require that $mathbb{E}[(X_{t_0}')^2]$ be finite. So this would apply when $X_t$ is WSS, but may not work otherwise.

          • @sharkbait Actually $mathbb{E}((X_{t_0}')^2)<infty$ follows from $$mathbb{E} left[ left( frac{X_t-X_{t_0}}{t-t_0} - X_{t_0}' right)^2 right]< infty$$ for $t$ close to $t_0$ and the fact that $(X_t)_t$ is square-integrable.
