Let $(X_i)$ be a super-martingale and suppose their differences are bounded ''with high probability'', that is $$\mathbb{P}(\exists\,i=1,\dots,n\text{ s.t. }|X_i-X_{i-1}|>c_i) \,\leq\, \epsilon$$ ...

Let $X_1, X_2, \dots, X_n$ be a martingale difference sequence such that $$ X_i \leq y \quad \text{and} \quad \sum_{i=1}^{n} \operatorname{Var}(X_i) \leq B^2. $$ Question 1: Does the following hold? $$...

I'm looking for a simple proof of the following fact, which is somehow Bernstein inequality in continuous time. Let $(M_t)_{t\geq 0}$ be a continuous local martingale. Then : $$P\left(\sup_{t\in [0,...

A classic formulation of the Bernstein inequality (from Wikipedia) is as follow: Let $X_1, \ldots, X_n$ be independent zero-mean random variables. Suppose that $|X_i|\leq M$ almost surely, for all $i$...
