Abstract: Using the spectral measure mumathbbS of the stopping time mathbbS, we define the stopping element XmathbbS as a Daniell integral intXt,dmumathbbS for an adapted stochastic process (Xt)tinJ that is a Daniell summable vector-valued function. This is an extension of the definition previously given for right-order-continuous sub-martingales with the Doob-Meyer decomposition property. The more general definition of XmathbbS necessitates a new proof of Doob's optional sampling theorem, because the definition given earlier for sub-martingales implicitly used Doob's theorem applied to martingales. We provide such a proof, thus removing the heretofore necessary assumption of the Doob-Meyer decomposition property in the result. Another advancement presented in this paper is our use of unbounded order convergence, which properly characterizes the notion of almost everywhere convergence found in the classical theory. Using order projections in place of the traditional indicator functions, we also generalize the notion of uniformly integrable sequences. In an essential ingredient to our main theorem mentioned above, we prove that uniformly integrable sequences that converge with respect to unbounded order convergence also converge to the same element in mathcalL1.
