Continuity of imprecise stochastic processes with respect to the pointwise convergence of monotone sequences

Abstract

We consider the joint lower expectation of a finite-state imprecise stochastic process, defined using either the Ville-Vovk-Shafer natural extension or the Williams natural extension. In both cases, we show that it is continuous with respect to the pointwise convergence of non-decreasing sequences of real-valued functions fnf_n, nN0n\in\mathbb{N}_0, where each fnf_n is nn-measurable. For the Ville-Vovk-Shafer natural extension, a similar result is shown to hold for non-increasing sequences, provided that they converge to a bounded function.
