Let X = {X(A); A ∈ Q} be a Lévy’s Brownian motion with the basic time parameter space Q, where Q is taken to be the n-dimensional metric space Qn,k of constant curvature (2 ≤ n ≤ ∞, — ∞ < k: < ∞), i.e., Q is one of(a) Euclidean space for k = 0, (b) sphere for k > 0 and(c) real hyperbolic space for K < 0.The increment X(A) — X(B) is, by definition, Gaussian in distribution and has mean 0 and variance d(A, B), the distance between A and B. The existence of such a Gaussian random field is well known ([3], [4], [16] and [23]).

Multifractional Brownian motion is a Gaussian process which has changing scaling properties generated by varying the local Hölder exponent. We show that multifractional Brownian motion is very sensitive to changes in the selected Hölder exponent and has extreme changes in magnitude. We suggest an alternative stochastic process, called integrated fractional white noise, which retains the important local properties but avoids the undesirable oscillations in magnitude. We also show how the Hölder exponent can be estimated locally from discrete data in this model.

Brownian motion subject to a quadratic killing rate and its connection with the Weibull distribution is analyzed. The distribution obtained for the process killing time significantly generalizes the Weibull. The derivation involves the use of the Karhunen–Loève expansion for Brownian motion, special function theory, and the calculus of residues.
