An Inequality Related to Bifractional Brownian Motion

Probability 2011-05-24 v1

Abstract

We prove that for any pair of i.i.d. random variables X,YX,Y with finite moment of order a(0,2]a \in (0,2] it is true that EXYaEX+YaE |X-Y|^a \leq E |X+Y|^a. Surprisingly, this inequality turns out to be related with bifractional Brownian motion. We extend this result to Bernstein functions and provide some counter-examples.
