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.

AbstractWe propose a new multifractional stochastic process which allows for self-exciting behavior, similar to what can be seen for example in earthquakes and other self-organizing phenomena. The process can be seen as an extension of a multifractional Brownian motion, where the Hurst function is dependent on the past of the process. We define this by means of a stochastic Volterra equation, and we prove existence and uniqueness of this equation, as well as giving bounds on the p-order moments, for all $p\geq1$. We show convergence of an Euler–Maruyama scheme for the process, and also give the rate of convergence, which is dependent on the self-exciting dynamics of the process. Moreover, we discuss various applications of this process, and give examples of different functions to model self-exciting behavior.

In this paper, we study the self-intersection local times of multifractional Brownian motion (mBm) in higher dimensions in the framework of white noise analysis. We show that when a suitable number of kernel functions of self-intersection local times of mBm are truncated then we obtain a Hida distribution. In addition, we present the expansion of the self-intersection local times in terms of Wick powers of white noises. Moreover, we obtain the convergence of the regularized truncated self-intersection local times in the sense of Hida distributions.

We present the expansion of the multifractional Brownian motion (mBm) local time in higher dimensions, in terms of Wick powers of white noises (or multiple Wiener integrals). If a suitable number of kernels is subtracted, they exist in the sense of generalized white noise functionals. Moreover, we show the convergence of the regularized truncated local times for mBm in the sense of Hida distributions.
