A result of R. Durrett, D. Iglehart and D. Miller states that Brownian meander is Brownian motion conditioned to stay positive for a unit of time, in the sense that it is the weak limit, as $x$ goes to 0, of Brownian motion started at $x>0$…
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…
We review our investigations on Gibbs measures relative to Brownian motion, in particular the existence of such measures and their path properties, uniqueness, resp. non-uniqueness. For the case when the energy only depends on increments,…
In this paper we study the local times of Brownian motion from the point of view of algorithmic randomness. We introduce the notion of effective local time and show that any path which is Martin-L\"of random with respect to the Wiener…
We consider the thermally activated escape of an overdamped Brownian particle over a potential barrier in the presence of periodic driving. A time-dependent path-integral formalism is developed which allows us to derive asymptotically exact…
We study a space-time Brownian motion with drift B(t)=(t_0+t,y_0+W(t)+t) killed at the moving boundary of the cone {(t,x):0<x<t}. This article determines the parabolic Martin boundary and all harmonic functions associated with this process.…
We consider one-dimensional Brownian motion conditioned (in a suitable sense) to have a local time at every point and at every moment bounded by some fixed constant. Our main result shows that a phenomenon of entropic repulsion occurs: that…
We derive P(M,t_m), the joint probability density of the maximum M and the time t_m at which this maximum is achieved for a class of constrained Brownian motions. In particular, we provide explicit results for excursions, meanders and…
We study the norm of the two-dimensional Brownian motion conditioned to stay outside the unit disk at all times. By conditioning the process is changed from barely recurrent to slightly transient. We obtain sharp results on the rate of…
It is well known that the weak limit of a suitably scaled continuous-time random walk (CTRW) is the Brownian motion. We investigate the convergence of certain patterned random matrices whose entries are independent CTRWs and their…
We study the radius $R_T$ of a self-repellent fractional Brownian motion $\left\{B^H_t\right\}_{0\le t\le T}$ taking values in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Our sharpest result is for $d=1$, where we find that with high probability, \begin{equation*} R_T…
We study interacting Brownian particles on the half-line whose interaction occurs through boundary local times at the origin. The particle system is given by \[ X_i^n(t)=X^n_{0,i}+W_i^n(t)+L_i^n(t) +\frac{1}{n-1}\sum_{j\ne…
This paper concerns the almost sure time dependent local extinction behavior for super-coalescing Brownian motion $X$ with $(1+\beta)$-stable branching and Lebesgue initial measure on $\bR$. We first give a representation of $X$ using…
For a one-dimensional super-Brownian motion with density $X(t,x)$, we construct a random measure $L_t$ called the boundary local time which is supported on $\partial \{x:X(t,x) = 0\} =: BZ_t$, thus confirming a conjecture of Mueller, Mytnik…
The paper addresses Brownian motion in the logarithmic potential with time-dependent strength, $U(x,t) = g(t) \log(x)$, subject to the absorbing boundary at the origin of coordinates. Such model can represent kinetics of…
We construct a Bayesian sequential test of two simple hypotheses about the value of the unobservable drift coefficient of a Brownian motion, with a possibility to change the initial decision at subsequent moments of time for some penalty.…
We condition a Brownian motion on having an atypically small $L_2$-norm on a long time interval. The obtained limiting process is a non-stationary Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process.
We study the long-time asymptotics of the probability P_t that the Riemann-Liouville fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index H does not escape from a fixed interval [-L,L] up to time t. We show that for any H \in ]0,1], for both…
We establish estimates for the local and uniform moduli of continuity of the local time of multifractional Brownian motion, $B^H=(B^{H(t)}(t),t\in\mathbb{R}^+)$. An analogue of Chung's law of the iterated logarithm is studied for $B^H$ and…
Let $B=\{ B_{t}\} _{t\ge 0}$ be a one-dimensional standard Brownian motion. As an application of a recent result of ours on exponential functionals of Brownian motion, we show in this paper that, for every fixed $t>0$, the process given by…
