A hitting time bigger than another hitting time












0














My question is :



Show that if $tau'$ is another hitting time for the filtration $mathcal{F}_n$, then



$$tau := inf{ngeqtau' : X_n in B, mbox{where $B$ is a Borel set}}$$



is also a hitting time.



Does someone know how to prove this ?



Thank you.

          Hint: $${tau leq k} = {tau' leq tau leq k} = bigcup_{j=0}^k ({tau'=j} cap {j leq tau leq k})$$



          and so



          $${tau leq k} = bigcup_{j=0}^k left( {tau'=j} capbigcup_{i=j}^k {X_i in B} right) in mathcal{F}_k$$
