Let M be a maximum and let N be a minimum of the non-negative martingale
X1, X2, . . . , Xn. It is well known, that if X1 = 1, then
γ(‖M ‖1) ≤ E (Xn log Xn) and γ(‖N ‖1) ≤ E (Xn log Xn) ,
where γ(x) = x − 1 − log x, for all x > 0. In this thesis, we prove the analogue of this result in the
case when 1 < p < ∞, by proving that
δp
(‖M ‖p
p
) ≤ ‖Xn‖p and δp
(‖N ‖p
p
) ≤ ‖Xn‖p,
where δp(x) =

p −1, for all x > 0. We also obtain a probabilistic proof of the fact

where p > 1, αj < p − 1 for j = 1, . . . , n and D (Qn) is family of all densities on the n-dimensional unit
cube Qn = (0, 1)n in Rn. This provides the proof of the multidimensional weighted Hardy inequality.
Namely, if f : Rn

Let B(t) be a standard planar Brownian motion and r(θ) be the length of the projection of B[0, 1]
on the line generated by the unit vector eθ = (cos θ, sin θ), where 0 ≤ θ ≤ π. We nd the common
distribution function F of the random variables r(θ). Namely, we prove that

for every x > 0. As immediate consequence, lower bound for the expected diameter of the set B[0, 1],
better than known, is obtained. Namely, it is known that Ed ≥ 1.601, where d is the diameter of the
set B[0, 1]. In this thesis we show Ed ≥ 1.856. |
