How is Grönwall's inequality applied here?

$begingroup$


Let $hin C^1(mathbb R)$ such that $h'$ is Lipschitz continuous and $$Lvarphi:=-h'varphi'+varphi'';;;text{for }varphiin C^2(mathbb R).$$ Now, let $(X_t)_{tge0}$ be the unique strong solution of $${rm d}X_t=-h'(X_t){rm d}t+sqrt2{rm d}W_ttag1,$$ where $(W_t)_{tge0}$ is a Brownian motion.




I've read (in this paper, below Assumption 2.4) that if $V:mathbb Rto[0,infty)$ with $$V(x)xrightarrow{xtoinfty}inftytag2$$ and $a,d>0$ with $$LVle-aV+dtag3,$$ then $$operatorname Eleft[V(X_t)midmathcal F_s^Xright]le e^{-a(t-s)}V(X_s)+frac da(1-e^{-a(t-s)})tag4.$$ Why does $(4)$ hold?




Obviously, $(4)$ is an application of (the Itō formula and) a Gronwall-type lemma. Actually, it's precisely Theorem 6 here. However, in order to apply that theorem, we should need that the process $left(operatorname Eleft[V(X_t)midmathcal F_s^Xright]right)_{tge0}$ is continuous. This shouldn't hold, unless $V$ is (continuous and) bounded (which would allow an application of Lebesgue's dominated convergence theorem). But $V$ is clearly assumed to be unbounded by $(2)$. So, what am I missing?



(Clearly, the authors of the paper are missing assumptions on $V$ anyway. In order for $(3)$ to make sense, $V$ needs to be twice differentiable (at least in some weak sense).

          It appears to be implicit that $V$ is $C^2$, hence locally bounded. By Ito,
          $$
          V(X_t) = e^{-a(t-s)}V(X_s)+{dover a}(1-e^{-a(t-s)})+int_s^t K_u,du +M_t-M_s,
          $$

          where $M$ is a martingale and $K_u=LV(X_u)=aV(X_u)-dle 0$. Now take he conditional expectation.
