Inequalities and Extremal Problems in Probability and Statistics: Selected Topics presents various kinds of useful inequalities that are applicable in many areas of mathematics, the sciences, and engineering. The book enables the reader to grasp the importance of inequalities and how they relate to probability and statistics.This will be an extremely useful book for researchers and graduate students in probability, statistics, and econometrics, as well as specialists working across sciences, engineering, financial mathematics, insurance, and mathematical modeling of large risks.- Teaches users how to understand useful inequalities- Applicable across mathematics, sciences, and engineering- Presented by a team of leading experts

This monograph is a presentation of a unified approach to a certain class of semimartingale inequalities, which can be regarded as probabilistic extensions of classical estimates for conjugate harmonic functions on the unit disc. The approach, which has its roots in the seminal works of Burkholder in the 80s, enables to deduce a given inequality for semimartingales from the existence of a certain special function with some convex-type properties. Remarkably, an appropriate application of the method leads to the sharp version of the estimate under investigation, which is particularly important for applications. These include the theory of quasiregular mappings (with deep implications to the geometric function theory); the boundedness of two-dimensional Hilbert transform and a more general class of Fourier multipliers; the theory of rank-one convex and quasiconvex functions; and more.The book is divided into a few separate parts. In the introductory chapter we present motivation for the results and relate them to some classical problems in harmonic analysis. The next part contains a general description of the method, which is applied in subsequent chapters to the study of sharp estimates for discrete-time martingales; discrete-time sub- and supermartingales; continuous time processes; the square and maximal functions. Each chapter contains additional bibliographical notes included for reference.​
