We use the martingale-theoretic approach of game-theoretic probability to incorporate imprecision into the study of randomness. In particular, we define a notion of computable randomness associated with interval, rather than precise,…

Given a random time, we characterize the set of martingales for which the stopping theorems still hold. We also investigate how the stopping theorems are modified when we consider arbitrary random times. To this end, we introduce some…

We prove the Martingale Convergence Theorem by using the work of L. Dubins and I. Monroe about embedding a given discrete-time martingale in the sample paths of a Brownian motion.

The paper considers the martingale theory in the $G$-framework. A form of Doob's optional sampling is established, which allows to prove the exact analogue of the classical maximal inequality. The obtained results are used to improve the…

We generalize a famous tail Doob's inequality, relative two non-negative random variables, arising in the martingale theory, in two directions: on the more general source data and on the random variables belonging to the so-called Grand…

We present the formalization of Doob's martingale convergence theorems in the mathlib library for the Lean theorem prover. These theorems give conditions under which (sub)martingales converge, almost everywhere or in $L^1$. In order to…

We generalize the notion of the submartingale property and Doob's inequality. Furthermore, we show how the latter leads to new inequalities for several stochastic processes: certain time series, Levy processes, random walks, processes with…

We develop a general framework for extracting highly uniform bounds on local stability for stochastic processes in terms of information on fluctuations or crossings. This includes a large class of martingales: As a corollary of our main…

We extend the notion of randomness (in the version introduced by Schnorr) to computable Probability Spaces and compare it to a dynamical notion of randomness: typicality. Roughly, a point is typical for some dynamic, if it follows the…

In the paper, we introduce the notion of a local regular supermartingale relative to a convex set of equivalent measures and prove for it an optional Doob decomposition in the discrete case. This Theorem is a generalization of the famous…

We study Doob's Consistency Theorem and Freedman's Inconsistency Theorem from the vantage point of computable probability and algorithmic randomness. We show that the Schnorr random elements of the parameter space are computably consistent,…

We present a unified approach to Doob's $L^p$ maximal inequalities for $1\leq p<\infty$. The novelty of our method is that these martingale inequalities are obtained as consequences of elementary deterministic counterparts. The latter have…

The Doob convergence theorem implies that the set of divergence of any martingale has measure zero. We prove that, conversely, any $G\_{\delta\sigma}$ subset of the Cantor space with Lebesgue-measure zero can be represented as the set of…

In this article we study and classify optimal martingales in the dual formulation of optimal stopping problems. In this respect we distinguish between weakly optimal and surely optimal martingales. It is shown that the family of weakly…

The notion of Schnorr randomness refers to computable reals or computable functions. We propose a version of Schnorr randomness for subcomputable classes and characterize it in different ways: by Martin L\"of tests, martingales or measure…

In the theory of algorithmic randomness, one of the central notions is that of computable randomness. An infinite binary sequence X is computably random if no recursive martingale (strategy) can win an infinite amount of money by betting on…
