Abstract:
We study a long-range dependence Gaussian process which we call “sub-fractional Brownian motion” (sub-fBm), because it is intermediate between Brownian motion (Bm) and fractional Brownian motion (fBm) in the sense that it has properties analogous to those of fBm, but the increments on non-overlapping intervals are more weakly correlated and their covariance decays polynomially at a higher rate. Sub-fBm has a parameter h E (0, 2), we show how it arises from occupation time fluctuations of branching particle systems for h >= 1 and we exhibit the long memory effect of the initial condition.
