Multipower variation for Brownian semistationary processes
Abstract
In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour of power and multipower variations of processes : where is deterministic, is a random process, is the stochastic Wiener measure and is a stochastic process in the nature of a drift term. Processes of this type serve, in particular, to model data of velocity increments of a fluid in a turbulence regime with spot intermittency . The purpose of this paper is to determine the probabilistic limit behaviour of the (multi)power variations of as a basis for studying properties of the intermittency process . Notably the processes are in general not of the semimartingale kind and the established theory of multipower variation for semimartingales does not suffice for deriving the limit properties. As a key tool for the results, a general central limit theorem for triangular Gaussian schemes is formulated and proved. Examples and an application to the realised variance ratio are given.
