Abstract

We prove a duality theorem the computation of certain Bellman functions is usually based on. As a byproduct, we obtain sharp results about the norms of monotonic rearrangements. The main novelty of our approach is a special class of martingales and an extremal problem on this class, which is dual to the minimization problem for locally concave functions.
