A Note on the Martingale Inequality

چکیده
In this paper, we will establish a martingale inequality, which extends the classic Hoeffding inequality in some sense. In addition, our inequality improves the results of Lee and Su [7] (2002) in some cases.

Freedman’s Inequality for Matrix Martingales
Freedman’s inequality is a martingale counterpart to Bernstein’s inequality. This result shows that the large-deviation behavior of a martingale is controlled by the predictable quadratic variation and a uniform upper bound for the martingale difference sequence. Oliveira has recently established a natural extension of Freedman’s inequality that provides tail bounds for the maximum singular val...
متن کاملStochastic functional population dynamics with jumps
In this paper we use a class of stochastic functional Kolmogorov-type model with jumps to describe the evolutions of population dynamics. By constructing a special Lyapunov function, we show that the stochastic functional differential equation associated with our model admits a unique global solution in the positive orthant, and, by the exponential martingale inequality with jumps, we dis...
متن کاملOn Modification Theorems
Given a right continuous family Ft of complete o-fields and a bounded right continuous family Xt of random variables, we show in this paper that it is possible to modify the conditional expectations E(Xt\Ft) to be right continuous. When Xt=X, this reduces to a result of J. L. Doob. A famous result of Doob states that any martingale has a right continuous with left limits modification. This is a...
متن کاملNotes on the Itô Calculus
1.1. Review. Let F := {Ft}t≥0 be a filtration of the probability space (Ω,F ,P) and let Mt = M(t) be a martingale relative to F. Assume that M(t) has continuous sample paths. For any stopping time τ denote by Fτ the stopping field associated with τ, that is, (1) Fτ := {A ∈ F : A ∩ {τ ≤ t} ∈ Ft ∀ t ≥ 0}. Proposition 1. (Doob’s Maximal Inequality) If Mt is a continuous martingale such that E|MT| ...
متن کاملA Note on Quadratic Maps for Hilbert Space Operators
In this paper, we introduce the notion of sesquilinear map on Β(H) . Based on this notion, we define the quadratic map, which is the generalization of positive linear map. With the help of this concept, we prove several well-known equality and inequality...
