Abstract
In the present paper we show that the processes , , defined by , where is a renewal processes whose inter-arrival times satisfy some integrability conditions and is some normalizing constant, weakly converge, in the space of continuous functions over , , to the Brownian motion as approaches infinity. Thus, generalizing the result of D. W. Stroock (1982), where is taken to be a standard Poisson process. In particular, we see that these results are a mere consequence of Donsker's invariance principle.
