Superprocesses with Coalescing Brownian Spatial Motion as Large-Scale Limits

A Superprocess with coalescing spatial motion is constructed in terms of one-dimensional excursions. Based on this construction, it is proved that the superprocess is purely atomic and arises as scaling limit of a special form of the superprocess with dependent spatial motion studied in Dawson et al. (Refs. 5, 19–20).     

Fake exponential Brownian motion

We construct a fake exponential Brownian motion, a continuous martingale different from classical exponential Brownian motion but with the same marginal distributions, thus extending results of Albin and Oleszkiewicz for fake Brownian motions. The ideas extend to other diffusions.

Singularity of Subfractional Brownian Motions with Different Hurst Indices

Composition of stochastic processes governed by higher-order parabolic and hyperbolic equations

We consider compositions of stochastic processes that are governed by higherorder partial differential equations. The processes studied include compositions of Brownian motions, stable-like processes with Brownian time, Brownian motion whose time is an integrated telegraph process, and an iterated integrated telegraph process. The governing higher-order equations that are obtained are shown to be either of the usual parabolic type or, as in the last example, of hyperbolic type.     

Solutions to BSDEs driven by both standard and fractional Brownian motions

The backward stochastic differential equations driven by both standard and fractional Brownian motions (or, in short, SFBSDE) are studied. A Wick-Itô stochastic integral for a fractional Brownian motion is adopted. The fractional Itô formula for the standard and fractional Brownian motions is provided. Introducing the concept of the quasi-conditional expectation, we study some its properties. Using the quasi-conditional expectation, we also discuss the existence and uniqueness of solutions to general SFBSDEs, where a fixed point principle is employed. Moreover, solutions to linear SFBSDEs are investigated. Finally, an explicit solution to a class of linear SFBSDEs is found.     

Extension of the Kalman–Bucy Filter to Elementary Linear Systems with Fractional Brownian Noises

We investigate the optimal filtering problem in the simplest Gaussian linear system driven by fractional Brownian motions. At first we extend to this setting the Kalman–Bucy filtering equations which are well-known in the specific case of usual Brownian motions. Closed form Volterra type integral equations are derived both for the mean of the optimal filter and the variance of the filtering error. Then the asymptotic stability of the filter is analyzed. It is shown that the variance of the filtering error converges to a finite limit as the observation time tends to infinity. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

A strong approximation for double subfractional integrals

A Riemann–Stieltjes integral strong approximation to double Stratonovich integrals with respect to odd and even fractional Brownian motions is considered. We prove the convergence in quadratic mean, uniformly on compact time intervals, of the ordinary double integral process obtained by linear interpolation of the odd and even fractional Brownian motions, to the double Stratonovich integral. The deterministic integrands are continuous or are given by bimeasures.     

Weak convergence to the fractional Brownian sheet in Besov spaces

In this paper we study the problem of the approximation in law of the fractional Brownian sheet in the topology of the anisotropic Besov spaces. We prove the convergence in law of two families of processes to the fractional Brownian sheet: the first family is constructed from a Poisson procces in the plane and the second family is defined by the partial sums of two sequences of real independent fractional brownian motions.

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.      

On the connected components of the support of super Brownian motion and of its exit measure

Tribe proved in a previous paper that a typical point of the support of super Brownian motion considered at a fixed time is a.s. disconnected from the others when the space dimension is greater than or equal to 3. We give here a simpler proof of this result based on Le Gall's Brownian snake. This proof can then be adapted in order to obtain an analogous result for the support of the exit measure of the super Brownian motion from a smooth domain of ^d when d is greater than or equal to 4.     

Weak convergence of the scaled median of independent Brownian motions

We consider the median of n independent Brownian motions, denoted by M _n (t), and show that $\sqrt{n}\,M_nWe consider the median of n independent Brownian motions, denoted by M _n (t), and show that converges weakly to a centered Gaussian process. The chief difficulty is establishing tightness, which is proved through direct estimates on the increments of the median process. An explicit formula is given for the covariance function of the limit process. The limit process is also shown to be H?lder continuous with exponent γ for all γ < 1/4.      

Singularity of generalized grey Brownian motions with different parameters

In this note we prove that the probability measures generated by two generalized grey Brownian motions with different parameters are singular with respect to each other. This result can be interpreted as an extension of the Feldman–Hájek dichotomy of Gaussian measures to a family of non-Gaussian measures.

On the variances of occupation times of conditioned Brownian motion

We extend some bounds on the variance of the lifetime of two--dimensional Brownian motion, conditioned to exit a planar domain at a given point, to certain domains in higher dimensions. We also give a short ``analytic' proof of some existing results.

     

Self-intersection local times and collision local times of bifractional Brownian motions

In this paper, we consider the local time and the self-intersection local time for a bifractional Brownian motion, and the collision local time for two independent bifractional Brownian motions. We mainly prove the existence and smoothness of the self-intersection local time and the collision local time, through the strong local nondeterminism of bifractional Brownian motion, L2 convergence and Chaos expansion.     

On the Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces Associated with the Fractional and Bi-Fractional Brownian Motions

We present decompositions of various positive kernels as integrals or sums of positive kernels. Within this framework we study the reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces associated with the fractional and bi-fractional Brownian motions. As a tool, we define a new function of two complex variables, which is a natural generalization of the classical Gamma function for the setting we consider. D.
