Fractional Brownian motion is a Gaussian stochastic process with stationary, long-time correlated increments and is frequently used to model anomalous diffusion processes. We study numerically fractional Brownian motion confined to a finite…

This paper provides the time-dependent $L^2$-martingale representation of the forward stochastic integral where the driving noise is the Riemann-Liouville fractional Brownian motion with parameter $\frac{1}{2} < H < 1$ and the integrand is…

The first passage time process of a L\'evy subordinator with heavy-tailed L\'evy measure has long-range dependent paths. The random fluctuations that appear under two natural schemes of summation and time scaling of such stochastic…

We revise the Levy's construction of Brownian motion as a simple though still rigorous approach to operate with various Gaussian processes. A Brownian path is explicitly constructed as a linear combination of wavelet-based "geometrical…

We study the long time behavior of a Brownian particle moving in an anomalously diffusing field, the evolution of which depends on the particle position. We prove that the process describing the asymptotic behaviour of the Brownian particle…

We expand the classic variational formulation of $-\log\mathbb{E}\left[e^{-f}\right]$ to the case where f depends on a diffusion, and not only a on Brownian motion, while decreasing the integrability hypothesis on f. We also give an…

This paper studies the law of any power of the integral of geometric Brownian motion over any finite time interval. As its main results, two integral representations for this law are derived. This is by enhancing the Laplace transform…

This is a guide to the mathematical theory of Brownian motion and related stochastic processes, with indications of how this theory is related to other branches of mathematics, most notably the classical theory of partial differential…

In this paper we investigate a variational discretization for the class of mechanical systems in presence of symmetries described by the action of a Lie group which reduces the phase space to a (non-trivial) principal bundle. By introducing…

We develop a convergent variational perturbation theory for the frequency of time-periodic solutions of nonlinear dynamical systems. The power of the theory is illustrated by applying it to the Duffing oscillator.

Fractional Brownian motion can be represented as an integral of a deterministic kernel w.r.t. an ordinary Brownian motion either on infinite or compact interval. In previous literature fractional L\'evy processes are defined by integrating…
