Abstract:
Let Mn =X1+...+Xn be a martingale with bounded differences Xm=Mm-Mm-1 such that {|Xm| m}=1 with some nonnegative m. Write 2= 12+ ... +n2. We prove the inequalities {Mnx}c(1-(x/)), {Mn x} 1- c(1- (-x/)) with a constant . The result yields sharp inequalities in some models related to the measure concentration phenomena.
