Abstract

We consider different types of processes obtained by composing Brownian motion B(t)B(t), fractional Brownian motion BH(t)B_{H}(t) and Cauchy processes % C(t) in different manners. We study also multidimensional iterated processes in Rd,\mathbb{R}^{d}, like, for example, (B1(C(t)),...,Bd(C(t)))\left( B_{1}(|C(t)|),...,B_{d}(|C(t)|)\right) and (C1(C(t)),...,Cd(C(t))),\left( C_{1}(|C(t)|),...,C_{d}(|C(t)|)\right) , deriving the corresponding partial differential equations satisfied by their joint distribution. We show that many important partial differential equations, like wave equation, equation of vibration of rods, higher-order heat equation, are satisfied by the laws of the iterated processes considered in the work. Similarly we prove that some processes like % C(|B_{1}(|B_{2}(...|B_{n+1}(t)|...)|)|) are governed by fractional diffusion equations.
