In this paper we address the extension problem for quantal measures of path-integral type, concentrating on two cases: sequential growth of causal sets and a particle moving on the finite lattice ℤn. In both cases, the dynamics can be coded into a vector-valued measure μ on Ω, the space of all histories. Initially, μ is just defined on special subsets of Ω called cylinder events, and we would like to extend it to a larger family of subsets (events) in analogy to the way this is done in the classical theory of stochastic processes. Since quantally μ is generally not of bounded variation, a new method is required. We propose a method that defines the measure of an event by means of a sequence of simpler events that in a suitable sense converges to the event whose measure we are seeking to define. To this end, we introduce canonical sequences approximating certain events, and we propose a measure-based criterion for the convergence of such sequences. Applying the method, we encounter a simple event whose measure is zero classically but non-zero quantally.

AbstractFor stochastic processes which are induced by a signed measure, the Andersen-Jessen theorem asserts almost sure convergence and yields the identification of the limit. This result has been extended to real and vector-valued stochastic processes which are induced by a finitely additive set function or a set function process. In the present paper, we study the structure of such induced stochastic processes in order to locate the Andersen-Jessen theorem and its extensions in the family of convergence theorems for martingales and their generalizations. As an application of these results, we also show that the Andersen-Jessen theorem and its extensions can be deduced from the convergence theorems for conditional expectations and positive supermartingales.

We generalize the notion of fractal interpolation functions (FIFs) to stochastic processes. We prove that the Minkowski dimension of trajectories of such interpolations for self-similar processes with stationary increments converges to 2-α. We generalize the notion of vector-valued FIFs to stochastic processes. Trajectories of such interpolations based on an equally spaced sample of size n on the interval [0,1] converge to the trajectory of the original process. Moreover, for fractional Brownian motion and, more generally, for self-similar processes with stationary increments (α-sssi) processes, upper bounds of the Minkowski dimensions of the image and the graph converge to the Hausdorff dimension of the image and the graph of the original process, respectively.
