Mathematics Subject Classification 2010 60E15 60G48 Keywords demimartingale maximal -inequalities Doob s inequality 1. Introduction Definition Let S1 S2 . be an L 1 sequence of random variables. Assume that for j 1 2 . B Sj i - Sj f 0 for all componentwise nondecreasing functions f such that the expectation is defined. Then Sj j 1 is called a demimartingale. If in addition the function f is assumed to be nonnegative the sequence Sj j 1 is called a demisubmartingale. Remark. If the function f is not required to be nondecreasing then the condition is equivalent to the condition that Sj j 1 is a martingale with the natural choice of s-algebras. If the function f is assumed to be nonnegative and not necessarily nondecreasing then the condition is equivalent to the condition that Sj j 1 is a submartingale with the natural choice of s -algebras. A martingale with the natural choice of s-algebras is a demimartingale. It can be checked that a submartingale is a demisubmartingale cf. 1 Proposition 1 . However there are stochastic processes that are demimartingales but not martingales with the natural choice of s-algebras cf. 1 example A 2 p. 10 . Definition is due to Newman and Wright 3 .
