We give short proofs of two classical results about the position of the extremal particle in a branching Brownian motion, one concerning the median position and another the almost sure behaviour.

The migration of living cells obeys usually the Einstein law of Brownian motion. While the latter is due to the thermal motion of surrounding matter, the cells locomotion is generally associated to their vitality. In the present paper the…

Sub-fractional Brownian motion is a process analogous to fractional Brownian motion but without stationary increments. In \cite{GGL1} we proved a strong uniform approximation with a rate of convergence for fractional Brownian motion by…

The relativistic generalization of a free Brownian motion theory is presented. The global characteristics of the relaxation are {\it explicitly} found for the velocity and momentum (stochastic) kinetics. It is shown that the thermal…

In this note, we combine the two approaches of Billingsley (1998) and Cs\H{o}rg\H{o} and R\'ev\'esz (1980), to provide a detailed sequential and descriptive for creating s standard Brownian motion, from a Brownian motion whose time space is…

A fully quantum treatment of Einstein's Brownian motion is given, showing in particular the role played by the two original requirements of translational invariance and connection between dynamics of the Brownian particle and atomic nature…

The approach to the theory of a relativistic random process is considered by the path integral method as Brownian motion taking into account the boundedness of speed. An attempt was made to build a relativistic analogue of the Wiener…

In this paper, the Quantum Brownian motion of a point particle induced by the quantum vacuum fluctuations of a real massless scalar field in Einstein universe under Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions is studied. Using the Wightman…

In this short communication we present an original way to couple the Brownian motion and the heat equation. More in general, we suggest a way for coupling the Langevin equation for a particle, which describes a single realization of its…

The fractional Brownian motion is a generalization of ordinary Brownian motion, used particularly when long-range dependence is required. Its explicit introduction is due to B.B. Mandelbrot and J.W. van Ness (1968) as a self-similar…

We present an interesting connection between Brownian motion and magnetism. We use this to determine the distribution of areas enclosed by the path of a particle diffusing on a sphere. In addition, we find a bound on the free energy of an…

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 discuss the relationships between some classical representations of the fractional Brownian motion, as a stochastic integral with respect to a standard Brownian motion, or as a series of functions with independent Gaussian coefficients.…
