A Large Deviation Inequality for Continuous-Time Martingales, with Applications.
Abstract
This paper first presents a discrete time martingale exponential bound and then extends it straightforwardly to a large class of continuous time (local) martingales. The resulting inequality yields many known estimates, and some new ones, on the growth and fluctuations of processes which can be expressed as stochastic integrals. Keywords: exponential bounds; Doob Meyer compensator; calculable variance process; maximal inequalities; stochastic integral representation.
