A submartingale satisfies $M_n \leq \mathbb{E}_n[M_{n+1}]$, indicating a process that tends to increase in expectation. A supermartingale satisfies $M_n \geq \mathbb{E}_n[M_{n+1}]$, indicating a process that tends to decrease in expectation.

Conditions: Applies to discrete-time stochastic processes.; Expectation is conditional on information at time $n$.
