In the paper, the martingales and super-martingales relative to a regular set of measures are systematically studied. The notion of local regular super-martingale relative to a set of equivalent measures is introduced and the necessary and sufficient conditions of the local regularity of it in the discrete case are founded. The regular set of measures play fundamental role for the description of incomplete markets. In the partial case, the description of the regular set of measures is presented. The notion of completeness of the regular set of measures have the important significance for the simplification of the proof of the optional decomposition for super-martingales. Using this notion, the important inequalities for some random values are obtained. These inequalities give the simple proof of the optional decomposition of the majorized super-martingales. The description of all local regular super-martingales relative to the regular set of measures is presented. It is proved that every majorized super-martingale relative to the complete set of measures is a local regular one. In the case, as evolution of a risk asset is given by the discrete geometric Brownian motion, the financial market is incomplete and a new formula for the fair price of super-hedge is founded.P ∈M E P |f m | < ∞, m = 1, ∞, and there exists an adapted nonnegative increasing random process {g m , F m } ∞ m=0 , g 0 = 0, sup P ∈M E P |g m | < ∞, m = 1, ∞, such that {f m + g m , F m } ∞ m=0 is a martingale relative to every measure from M. The next elementary Theorem 1 will be very useful later.

In the paper, the martingales and super-martingales relative to a convex set of equivalent measures are systematically studied. The notion of local regular super-martingale relative to a convex set of equivalent measures is introduced and the necessary and sufficient conditions of the local regularity of it in the discrete case are founded. The description of all local regular super-martingales relative to a convex set of equivalent measures is presented. The notion of the complete set of equivalent measures is introduced. We prove that every bounded in some sense super-martingale relative to the complete set of equivalent measures is local regular. A new definition of the fair price of contingent claim in an incomplete market is given and the formula for the fair price of Standard Option of European type is found. The proved Theorems are the generalization of the famous Doob decomposition for super-martingale onto the case of super-martingales relative to a convex set of equivalent measures.
