In this paper we define Brownian local time as the almost sure limit of the local times of a nested sequence of simple, symmetric random walks. The limit is jointly continuous in $(t,x)$. The rate of convergence is $n^{\frac14} (\log…

We study a continuous pathwise local time of order p for continuous functions with finite p-th variation along a sequence of time partitions, for even integers p >= 2. With this notion, we establish a Tanaka-type change of variable formula,…

In this article we calculate the third and fourth moment of the renormalized intersection local time of a planar Brownian motion. The third moment is calculated anlaytically, the fourth moment numerically. For the closed planar random walk…

Let \beta_k(n) be the number of self-intersections of order k, appropriately renormalized, for a mean zero random walk X_n in Z^2 with 2+\delta moments. On a suitable probability space we can construct X_n and a planar Brownian motion W_t…

Fix $p>1$, not necessarily integer, with $p(d-2)<d$. We study the $p$-fold self-intersection local time of a simple random walk on the lattice $\Z^d$ up to time $t$. This is the $p$-norm of the vector of the walker's local times, $\ell_t$.…

In this article we study the distribution of the number of points of a simple random walk, visited a given number of times (the k-multiple point range). In a previous article we had developed a graph theoretical approach which is now…

Let $\xi(k,n)$ be the local time of a simple symmetric random walk on the line. We give a strong approximation of the centered local time process $\xi(k,n)-\xi(0,n)$ in terms of a Wiener sheet and an independent Wiener process, time changed…

The aim of this paper is to represent any continuous local martingale as an almost sure limit of a nested sequence of simple, symmetric random walks, time changed by a discrete quadratic variation process. One basis of this is a similar…

These notes contains an introduction to the theory of Brownian and diffusion local time, as well as its relations to the Tanaka Formula, the extended Ito-Tanaka formula for convex functions, the running maximum process, and the theory of…

In this paper we present a computation of the mean first-passage times both for a random walk in a discrete bounded lattice, between a starting site and a target site, and for a Brownian motion in a bounded domain, where the target is a…

Donsker's theorem shows that random walks behave like Brownian motion in an asymptotic sense. This result can be used to approximate expectations associated with the time and location of a random walk when it first crosses a nonlinear…

In the present paper, Ito formula and Tanaka formula for a special kind of symmetric random walk in the complex plain are studied. The random walk is called Parisian walk, and its local time is defined to be the number of exit from some…

A simple random walk and a Brownian motion are considered on a spider that is a collection of half lines (we call them legs) joined in the origin. We give a strong approximation of these two objects and their local times. For fixed number…

We prove that the self-intersection local times for generalized grey Brownian motion $B^{\beta,\alpha}$ in arbitrary dimension $d$ is a well defined object in a suitable distribution space for $d\alpha<2$.

We study a notion of local time for a continuous path, defined as a limit of suitable discrete quantities along a general sequence of partitions of the time interval. Our approach subsumes other existing definitions and agrees with the…

Let \ell be the projected intersection local time of two independent Brownian paths in R^d for d=2,3. We determine the lower tail of the random variable \ell(U), where U is the unit ball. The answer is given in terms of intersection…

Let \alpha ([0,1]^p) denote the intersection local time of p independent d-dimensional Brownian motions running up to the time 1. Under the conditions p(d-2)<d and d\ge 2, we prove lim_{t\to\infty}t^{-1}\log P\bigl{\alpha([0,1]^p)\ge…

This paper is concerned with the smoothness (in the sense of Meyer-Watanabe) of the local times of Gaussian random fields. Sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence and smoothness of the local times, collision local times, and…
