Brownian web Brownian web In probability theory, the Brownian web is an uncountable collection of one-dimensional coalescing Brownian motions, starting from every point in space and time. It arises as the diffusive space-time scaling limit of a collection of coalescing random walks, with one walk starting from each point of the integer lattice Z at each time. What is now known as the Brownian web was first conceived by Arratia in his Ph.D. thesis and a subsequent incomplete and unpublished manuscript. Arratia studied the voter model, an interacting particle system that models the evolution of a population's political opinions. The individuals of
Fractional Brownian motion stochastic integrals". In general though, unlike integrals with respect to regular Brownian motion, fractional stochastic integrals are not semimartingales. Just as Brownian motion can be viewed as white noise filtered by formula_8 (i.e. integrated), fractional Brownian motion is white noise filtered by formula_9 (corresponding to fractional integration). Practical computer realisations of an "fBm" can be generated, although they are only a finite approximation. The sample paths chosen can be thought of as showing discrete sampled points on an "fBm" process. Three realizations are shown below, each with 1000 points of an "fBm" with Hurst parameter 0.75. Realizations of three different
