Theorem
(n)
The sequence St converges in probability to a limit;
we call the limit "quadratic variation at time t", and denote [M]t ; as
(n) p
n → ∞, St → [M]t .
Furthermore, if Mt is L2 -bounded on [0, t], i.e.
sup E|Ms |2 < ∞
0≤s≤t
for each t, then
(n) L2
St → [M]t
and

Theorem
Let (Mt )t≥0 be a continuous martingale, and (Vt )t≥0 be a
continuous process which is locally of bounded variation.
Let f : R 2 → R be a continuous function with continuous
derivatives:

Remark:
Shortly, we write (1) in the form:
∂f ∂f 1 ∂2f
df (Mt , Vt ) = ∂x (Mt , Vt )dMt + ∂y (Mt , Vt )dVt + 2 ∂x 2 (Mt , Vt )d[M]t = dt (2)
Example
Let f (x) = x p for some p > 0, and Mt = Bt =Brownian Motion,
then (2) implies

d(Bt )p = p(Bt )p−1 dBt + p(p − 1)Btp−2 d[B]t
