On a generalization of a theorem of W. Sudderth and some applications
We prove that the class mc4 of continuous martingales with parameter set [0,1]2, bounded in L4, is included in the class of semi-martingales Sc∞(L0(P)) defined by Allain in [A]. As a consequence we obtain a compact Itô's formula. Finally we relate this result with the compact Itô formula obtained by Sanz in [S] for martingales of mc4.
In this paper, we consider ℝd-valued integrable processes which are increasing in the convex order, i.e. ℝd-valued peacocks in our terminology. After the presentation of some examples, we show that an ℝd-valued process is a peacock if and only if it has the same one-dimensional marginals as an ℝd-valued martingale. This extends former results, obtained notably by Strassen [Ann. Math. Stat. 36 (1965) 423–439], Doob [J. Funct. Anal. 2 (1968) 207–225] and Kellerer [Math. Ann. 198 (1972) 99–122].
In recent years, convergence results for multivalued functions have been developed and used in several areas of applied mathematics: mathematical economics, optimal control, mechanics, etc. The aim of this note is to give a criterion of almost sure convergence for multivalued asymptotic martingales (amarts). For every separable Banach space B the fact that every L¹-bounded B-valued martingale converges a.s. in norm to an integrable B-valued random variable (r.v.) is equivalent to the Radon-Nikodym...
We are dealing with definition of expectation of random elements taking values in metric space given by I. Molchanov and P. Teran in 2006. The approach presented by the authors is quite general and has some interesting properties. We present two kinds of new results:• conditions under which the metric space is isometric with some real Banach space;• conditions which ensure "random identification" property for random elements and almost sure convergence of asymptotic martingales.
The well-known Bennett–Hoeffding bound for sums of independent random variables is refined, by taking into account positive-part third moments, and at that significantly improved by using, instead of the class of all increasing exponential functions, a much larger class of generalized moment functions. The resulting bounds have certain optimality properties. The results can be extended in a standard manner to (the maximal functions of) (super)martingales. The proof of the main result relies on an...
A characterization of absolutely summing operators by means of McShane integrable stochastic processes is considered.
