A Set-indexed Fractional Brownian Motion

We define and prove the existence of a fractional Brownian motion indexed by a collection of closed subsets of a measure space. This process is a generalization of the set-indexed Brownian motion, when the condition of independance is relaxed. Relations with the Lévy fractional Brownian motion and with the fractional Brownian sheet are studied. We prove stationarity of the increments and a property of self-similarity with respect to the action of solid motions. Moreover, we show that there no “really nice” set indexed fractional Brownian motion other than set-indexed Brownian motion. Finally, behavior of the set-indexed fractional Brownian motion along increasing paths is analysed.      

Limit theorems for functionals of two independent Gaussian processes

Under certain mild conditions, some limit theorems for functionals of two independent Gaussian processes are obtained. The results apply to general Gaussian processes including fractional Brownian motion, sub-fractional Brownian motion and bi-fractional Brownian motion. A new and interesting phenomenon is that, in comparison with the results for fractional Brownian motion, extra randomness appears in the limiting distributions for Gaussian processes with nonstationary increments, say sub-fractional Brownian motion and bi-fractional Brownian. The results are obtained based on the method of moments, in which Fourier analysis, the chaining argument introduced in [11] and a pairing technique are employed.     

Harmonic functions on Walsh’s Brownian motion

We examine a variation of two-dimensional Brownian motion introduced by Walsh that can be described as Brownian motion on the spokes of a (rimless) bicycle wheel. We construct the process by randomly assigning angles to excursions of reflecting Brownian motion. Hence, Walsh’s Brownian motion behaves like one-dimensional Brownian motion away from the origin, but differently at the origin as it is immediately sent off in random directions. Given the similarity, we characterize harmonic functions as linear functions on the rays satisfying a slope-averaging property. We also classify superharmonic functions as concave functions on the rays satisfying extra conditions.

Degree two Brownian Sheet in Dimension three

In this work, we construct a degree two Brownian Sheet in dimension three which is obtained from the ordinary Brownian Sheet in ℝ² in the same way that Paul Lévy has obtained his two-parameter Brownian motion from the ordinary Brownian motion.     

Asymptotic Behavior of Weighted Power Variations of Fractional Brownian Motion in Brownian Time

We study the asymptotic behavior of weighted power variations of fractional Brownian motion in Brownian time \(Z_t:= X_{Y_t},t \geqslant 0\), where X is a fractional Brownian motion and Y is an independent Brownian motion.     

Chaos Decomposition of Local Time for d-Dimensional Fractional Brownian Motion with N-Parameter

In this paper, the existence and chaos decomposition of local time of fractional Brownian motion are studied within the canonical framework of white noise analysis. We prove that the local time of -dimensional fractional Brownian motion with 1-parameter is a Hida distribution through white noise approach. Under some conditions, it exists in . Moreover, the Wiener-Ito chaos decomposition of it is also given in terms of Hermite polynomials. Finally, similar results of -dimensional fractional Brownian motion with -parameter are also obtained. We popularize some results in Bakun (2000) for the case of Brownian motion.

Fractional Brownian motion with complex variance via random walk in the complex plane and applications

A model of complex-valued fractional Brownian motion has been built up recently as the limit of a random walk in the complex plane, but this model involves radial steps only. It is shown that, by using non-radial steps, this model can be easily extended to define a fractional Brownian motion with complex-valued variance. The relations between complex-valued Brownian motion and the heat equation of order n is clarified and mainly one obtains the general expression of the probability density functions for these processes. One shows that the maximum entropy principle (MPE) provides the probability density of the complex-valued fractional Brownian motion, exactly like for the standard Brownian motion. And lastly, one shows that the heat equation of order 2n (which is the Fokker–Planck equation (FPE) of the complex-valued Brownian motion) has a solution which is similar to that of the FPE of fractional order introduced before by the author, therefore, to some extent, an identification between the complex-valued model via random walk in the complex plane and the model involving a derivative of fractional order.     

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-variation of bifractional Brownian motion

In this paper we study p-variation of bifractional Brownian motion. As an application, we introduce a class of estimators of the parameters of a bifractional Brownian motion and prove that both of them are strongly consistent; as another application, we investigate fractal nature related to the box dimension of the graph of bifractional Brownian motion.     

Hyperbolic and fractional hyperbolic Brownian motion

We examine the hyperbolic, planar Brownian motion and its time-fractional version. The analogy between the hyperbolic Brownian motion and Brownian motion on the sphere is also analysed. We examine in detail the connection between the equations governing the distributions in the Cartesian and hyperbolic coordinates. We discuss the time-fractional generalization of hyperbolic Brownian motion and give a representation of it as composition of classical hyperbolic Brownian motion with a reflecting Brownian motion on the line.

Wavelets, generalized white noise and fractional integration: The synthesis of fractional Brownian motion

We provide an almost sure convergent expansion of fractional Brownian motion in wavelets which decorrelates the high frequencies. Our approach generalizes Lévy's midpoint displacement technique which is used to generate Brownian motion. The low-frequency terms in the expansion involve an independent fractional Brownian motion evaluated at discrete times or, alternatively, partial sums of a stationary fractional ARIMA time series. The wavelets fill in the gaps and provide the necessary high frequency corrections. We also obtain a way of constructing an arbitrary number of non-Gaussian continuous time processes whose second order properties are the same as those of fractional Brownian motion.     

Ergodicity and First Passage Probability of Regime-Switching Geometric Brownian Motions

A regime-switching geometric Brownian motion is used to model a geometric Brownian motion with its coefficients changing randomly according to a Markov chain. In this work, the author gives a complete characterization of the recurrent property of this process. The long time behavior of this process such as its p-th moment is also studied. Moreover, the quantitative properties of the regime-switching geometric Brownian motion with two-state switching are investigated to show the difference between geometric Brownian motion with switching and without switching. At last, some estimates of its first passage probability are established.     

The rate of quasi sure convergence in the functional limit theorem for increments of a Brownian motion

We investigate the quasi sure convergence of the functional limit for increments of a Brownian motion. The rate of quasi sure convergence in the functional limit for increments of a d-dimensional Brownian motion is derived. The main tool in the proof is large deviation and small deviation for Brownian motion in terms of (r,p)-capacity.     

Cylindrical fractional Brownian motion in Banach spaces

In this article we introduce cylindrical fractional Brownian motions in Banach spaces and develop the related stochastic integration theory. Here a cylindrical fractional Brownian motion is understood in the classical framework of cylindrical random variables and cylindrical measures. The developed stochastic integral for deterministic operator valued integrands is based on a series representation of the cylindrical fractional Brownian motion, which is analogous to the Karhunen–Loève expansion for genuine stochastic processes. In the last part we apply our results to study the abstract stochastic Cauchy problem in a Banach space driven by cylindrical fractional Brownian motion.     

Confidence intervals for the Hurst parameter of a fractional Brownian motion based on finite sample size

In this paper, we show how concentration inequalities for Gaussian quadratic form can be used to propose confidence intervals of the Hurst index parametrizing a fractional Brownian motion. Both cases where the scaling parameter of the fractional Brownian motion is known or unknown are investigated. These intervals are obtained by observing a single discretized sample path of a fractional Brownian motion and without any assumption on the Hurst parameter H.     

Lower Bounds for the Distribution of Suprema of Brownian Increments and Brownian Motion Normalized by the Corresponding Modulus Functions

The Lévy–Ciesielski construction of Brownian motion is used to determine non-asymptotic estimates for the maximal deviation of increments of a Brownian motion process \((W_{t})_{t\in \left[ 0,T\right] }\) normalized by the global modulus function, for all positive \(\varepsilon \) and \(\delta \). Additionally, uniform results over \(\delta \) are obtained. Using the same method, non-asymptotic estimates for the distribution function for the standard Brownian motion normalized by its local modulus of continuity are obtained. Similar results for the truncated Brownian motion are provided and play a crucial role in establishing the results for the standard Brownian motion case.

Brownian dynamics of rigid body by fluctuating hydrodynamic equations

In this work, Brownian dynamics of rigid body in an incompressible fluid with fluctuating hydrodynamic equations is presented. To demonstrate the Brownian motion of rigid body, fluctuating hydrodynamic equations have been coupled with equations of motion of rigid body. Thermal fluctuation is included in the fluid equations via random stress terms unlike the random terms in the conventional Brownian dynamics type approach. Calculation of random stress terms in the fluid is easier in comparison to the random terms in the particle motion. Direct numerical simulation for the Brownian motion of rigid body with a meshfree framework is analysed. (© 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
