\begin{corollary}
\label{cor:convexmartingale}
Suppose that $f: \R \to \R$ is a convex function such that $f(X_n) \in L^1(\bP)$.
Suppose that $(X_n)_n$ is a martingale%
\footnote{In this form it means, that there is some filtration,
that we don't explicitly specify}.
Then $(f(X_n))_n$ is a sub-martingale.
Likewise, if $f$ is concave, then $((f(X_n))_n$ is a super-martingale.
Then $(f(X_n))_n$ is a submartingale.
Likewise, if $f$ is concave, then $((f(X_n))_n$ is a supermartingale.
