The similarities between martingale convergence theory and pointwise ergodic theory are now well known [5, 7, 9, 10]. In [5] the similarity between the proofs of the Hopf– Dunford–Schwartz individual ergodic theorem and the martingale convergence theorem is systematically exploited to produce very general ” maximal ergodic ” inequalities for certain sequences of contractions on L1-spaces. A different approach by Rota [10] and Rao [9] leads to a unified convergence theory for martingales and Abel limits. Bishop [1] has produced ” upcrossing” inequalities which yield both theChacon-Ornstein theorem [4] and the martingale convergence theorem.
