Let p > 1 real. We Doob-Meyer-decompose Lp(ℙ)-valued positive submartingales such that the martingale and predictable parts are also in Lp(ℙ). We give two variants of such a decomposition. The first one handles also not necessarily right continuous submartingales, since its proof is as discrete in its nature as Doob's archaically decomposition. The second decomposition acts in Lp (ℝ × Ω ℬ ⊗ ℱ, μ ⊗ ℙ) for some finite measure μ on ℝ.
