While it is very common to model diffusion as a random walk by assuming memorylessness of the trajectory and diffusive step lengths, these assumptions can lead to significant errors. This paper describes the extent to which a physical…
We show that the past and future of half-plane Brownian motion at certain cutpoints are independent of each other after a conformal transformation. Like in Ito's excursion theory, the pieces between cutpoints form a Poisson process with…
The movement of a particle described by Brownian motion is quantified by a single parameter, $D$, the diffusion constant. The estimation of $D$ from a discrete sequence of noisy observations is a fundamental problem in biological single…
We provide a simple algorithm for construction of Brownian paths approximating those of a L\'evy process on a finite time interval. It requires knowledge of the L\'evy process trajectory on a chosen regular grid and the law of its endpoint,…
Consider a time-varying collection of n points on the positive real axis, modeled as exponentials of n Brownian motions whose drift vector at every time point is determined by the relative ranks of the coordinate processes at that time. If…
We define and study the multiparameter fractional Brownian motion. This process is a generalization of both the classical fractional Brownian motion and the multiparameter Brownian motion, when the condition of independence is relaxed.…
The one-dimensional overdamped Brownian motion in a symmetric periodic potential modulated by external time-reversible noise is analyzed. The calculation of the effective diffusion coefficient is reduced to the mean first passage time…
We extend to the vector-valued situation some earlier work of Ciesielski and Roynette on the Besov regularity of the paths of the classical Brownian motion. We also consider a Brownian motion as a Besov space valued random variable. It…
In this work, we focus on the behavior of a single passive Brownian particle in a suspension of passive particles with short-range repulsive interactions and a larger self-diffusion coefficient. While the forces affecting the…

We consider the precise upper large deviations estimates for the maximal displacement of a branching random walk. In addition, we obtain a description of the extremal process of the branching random walk conditioned on this large deviations…
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…
We consider the degenerate Einsteins Brownian motion model when the time interval of the moving particles before the collisions, is reciprocal to the number of particles per unit volume u(x,t), at the point of observation x at time t. The…
We consider a standard binary branching Brownian motion on the real line. It is known that the maximal position $M_t$ among all particles alive at time $t$, shifted by $m_t = \sqrt{2} t - \frac{3}{2\sqrt{2}} \log t$ converges in law to a…
We give the distribution of $M_n$, the maximum of a sequence of $n$ observations from a moving average of order 1. Solutions are first given in terms of repeated integrals and then for the case where the underlying independent random…
Given a standard Brownian motion $B^{\mu}=(B_t^{\mu})_{0\le t\le T}$ with drift $\mu \in \mathbb{R}$ and letting $S_t^{\mu}=\max_{0\le s\le t}B_s^{\mu}$ for $0\le t\le T$, we consider the optimal prediction problem: \[V=\inf_{0\le \tau \le…
The aim of this paper is to study the continuity correction for barrier options in jump-diusion models. For this purpose, we express the pay-off a barrier option in terms of the maximum of the underlying process. We then condition with…
Consider the motion of a Brownian particle in two or more dimensions, whose coordinate processes are standard Brownian motions with zero drift initially, and then at some random/unobservable time, one of the coordinate processes gets a…
The free positive multiplicative Brownian motion $(h_t)_{t\geq0}$ is the large $N$ limit in non-commutative distribution of matrix geometric Brownian motion. It can be constructed by setting $h_t:=g_{t/2}g_{t/2}^*$, where $(g_t)_{t\geq0}$…
We compute the joint distribution of the first times a linear diffusion makes an excursion longer than some given duration above (resp. below) some fixed level. In the literature, such stopping times have been introduced and studied in the…
