Brownian motion stochastic process models. There exist both simpler and more complicated stochastic processes which in extreme ("taken to the limit") may describe the Brownian Motion (see random walk and Donsker's theorem). The Roman Lucretius's scientific poem "On the Nature of Things" (c. 60 BC) has a remarkable description of Brownian motion of dust particles in verses 113–140 from Book II. He uses this as a proof of the existence of atoms: "Observe what happens when sunbeams are admitted into a building and shed light on its shadowy places. You will see a multitude of tiny particles mingling in a multitude of
Reflected Brownian motion Reflected Brownian motion In probability theory, reflected Brownian motion (or regulated Brownian motion, both with the acronym RBM) is a Wiener process in a space with reflecting boundaries. RBMs have been shown to describe queueing models experiencing heavy traffic as first proposed by Kingman and proven by Iglehart and Whitt. A "d"–dimensional reflected Brownian motion "Z" is a stochastic process on formula_1 uniquely defined by where "X"("t") is an unconstrained Brownian motion and with "Y"("t") a "d"–dimensional vector where The reflection matrix describes boundary behaviour. In the interior of formula_4 the process behaves like a Wiener process, on the boundary
