    In the April 2017 Paper Q2 requires proving that increments of a process are stationary.
    The question goes something like, h(30+u)= B(1+a)^u where u is greater than or equal to zero and a and B are constants, and we need to prove ln(h(30+u)) has stationary increments.

    My approach went something like this,
    For, ln(h(30+t+u))-ln(h(30+u)) = t*(ln(1+a)) for t greater than zero.

    Would this be enough or would we need to add something else.

    I imagine the Examiners will have done something very similar to that.

    But, best to check the Examiners Report when it is published in a week or so.

    I found this definition for stationery increments

    For any \[s<t,\ X_t - X_s = X_{t-s}\]

    Edit: I believe this holds for the Poisson process
