We investigate various variable martingale Hardy spaces corresponding to variable Lebesgue spaces $\mathcal {L}_{p(\cdot )}$ defined by rearrangement functions. In particular, we show that the dual of martingale variable Hardy space $\mathcal {H}_{p(\cdot )}^{s}$ with $0<p_{-}\leq p_{+}\leq 1$ can be described as a BMO-type space and establish martingale inequalities among these martingale Hardy spaces. Furthermore, we give an application of martingale inequalities in stochastic integral with Brownian motion.
