Reviewed and analyzed the issues linked with the torque and naguszewski cumulant description of random processes. It is shown that if non-Gaussian random processes are given by both instantaneous and cumulative functions, it is assumed that such processes are fully specified. Spectral characteristics of non-Gaussian random processes are considered. It is shown that higher spectral densities exist only for non-Gaussian random processes.

Stability and invertibility aspects of the AR to ARMA procedures developed in Part I in connection with simulation of multivariate random processes are addressed. A general criterion is proved for this purpose. Furthermore, several properties regarding the matching of the correlations at various time lags of the target and the simulated processes are shown. Finally, the reliability and efficiency of the discussed procedures are demonstrated by application to spectra encountered in earthquake engineering, offshore engineering, and wind engineering.

AbstractWe explore the first passage problem for sticky reflecting diffusion processes with double exponential jumps. The joint Laplace transform of the first passage time to an upper level and the corresponding overshoot is studied. In particular, explicit solutions are presented when the diffusion part is driven by a drifted Brownian motion and by an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process.

We introduce and study a novel type of first-passage percolation problem onwhere the associated first-passage time measures the density of interface between two types of sites. If the types, designated + and –, are independently assigned their values with probabilitypand (1 —p) respectively, we show that the density of interface is non-zero provided that both species are subcritical with regard to percolation, i.e.pc>p> 1 –pc.Furthermore, we show that asp↑pcorp↓ (1 –pc), the interface density vanishes with scaling behavior identical to the correlation length of the site percolation problem.
