We consider the distance between the fractional Brownian motion defined on the interval [0,1] and the space of Gaussian martingales adapted to the same filtration. As the distance between stochastic processes, we take the maximum over [0,1] of mean-square deviances between the values of the processes. The aim is to calculate the function a in the Gaussian martingale representation ∫0ta(s)dWs that minimizes this distance. So, we have the minimax problem that is solved by the methods of convex analysis. Since the minimizing function a can not be either presented analytically or calculated explicitly, we perform discretization of the problem and evaluate the discretized version of the function a numerically.

AbstractThis paper concerns the intermediate dimensions, a spectrum of dimensions that interpolate between the Hausdorff and box dimensions. Potential-theoretic methods are used to produce dimension bounds for images of sets under Hölder maps and certain stochastic processes. We apply this to compute the almost-sure value of the dimension of Borel sets under index-$$\alpha $$ α fractional Brownian motion in terms of dimension profiles defined using capacities. As a corollary, this establishes continuity of the profiles for Borel sets and allows us to obtain an explicit condition showing how the Hausdorff dimension of a set may influence the typical box dimension of Hölder images such as projections. The methods used propose a general strategy for related problems; dimensional information about a set may be learned from analysing particular fractional Brownian images of that set. To conclude, we obtain bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of exceptional sets, with respect to intermediate dimensions, in the setting of projections.


The univariate Weierstrass–Mandelbrot function is generalized to many variables to model higher dimensional stochastic processes such as undersea topography. Because this topography is difficult to measure at small length scales over the many large regions that affect long-ranged acoustic propagation in the ocean, one needs a stochastic description that can be extrapolated to both large and small features. Fractal surfaces are a convenient framework for such a description. Computer-generated plots for the two-variable case are presented. It is shown that in the continuum limit the multivariate function is equivalent to the multivariate fractional Brownian motion.

Fractional Brownian motion as a method for estimating the parameters of a stochastic process by variance and one-step increment covariance is proposed and substantiated. The root-mean-square consistency of the constructed estimates has been proven. The obtained results complement and generalize the consequences of limit theorems for fractional Brownian motion, that have been proved in the number of articles. The necessity to estimate the variance is caused by the absence of a base unit of time and the estimation of the covariance allows one to determine the Hurst exponent. The established results let the known limit theorems to be used to construct goodness-of-fit criteria for the hypothesis “the observed time series is a transformation of fractional Brownian motion” and to estimate the error of optimal forecasting for time series.

We analyse the asymptotic behaviour of a biological system described by a stochastic competition model with $n$ species and $k$ resources (chemostat model), in which the species mortality rates are influenced by the fractional Brownian motion of the extrinsic noise environment. By constructing a Lyapunov functional, the persistence and extinction criteria are derived in the mean square sense. Some examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical result.

Integral equations for the mean-square estimate are obtained for the linear filtering problem, in which the noise generating the signal is a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index h∈(3/4,1) and the noise in the observation process includes a fractional Brownian motion as well as a Wiener process.

AbstractWe study analytically and numerically the fractional Langevin equation driven by the fractional Brownian motion. The fractional derivative is in Caputo’s sense and the fractional order in this paper is α = 2 − 2H, where H ∈ ($\tfrac{1} {2} $, 1) is the Hurst parameter (or, index). We give numerical schemes for the fractional Langevin equation with or without an external force. From the figures we can find that the mean square displacement of the fractional Langevin equation has the property of the anomalous diffusion. When the fractional order tends to an integer, the diffusion reduces to the normal diffusion.
