Abstract
Let (f n) Nn=1 be a stochastic process adapted to the filtration (F n N n=0 ). Denoting by (g n) Nn=1 the predictable projection of this process, i.e., g n=En−1(fn) we show that the inequality
or, in more abstract terms
holds true for 1≤p≤q≤∞ (with the obvious interpretation in the case of p=∞ or q=∞).
Several similar results, pertaining also to the case p>q, are known in the literature. The present result may have some interest in view of the following reasons: (1) the case p=1 and 2<q≤∞ seems to be new; (2) we obtain 2 as a uniform constant which is sharp in the case p=1, q=∞ and (3) the proof is very easy.
