Brownian model of financial markets as: Note that formula_21 and formula_139 are absolutely continuous with respect to each other, i.e. they are equivalent. Also, according to Girsanov's theorem, is a formula_6-dimensional Brownian motion process on the filtration formula_146 with respect to formula_139. A complete financial market is one that allows effective hedging of the risk inherent in any investment strategy. Let formula_89 be a standard financial market, and formula_149 be an formula_140-measurable random variable, such that: The market formula_89 is said to be "complete" if every such formula_149 is "financeable", i.e. if there is an formula_155-financed portfolio process formula_156, such that its associated wealth process
Fractional Brownian motion Suppose we want to simulate the values of the "fBM" at times formula_12 using the Cholesky decomposition method. In order to compute formula_15, we can use for instance the Cholesky decomposition method. An alternative method uses the eigenvalues of formula_16: Note that the result is real-valued because formula_36. Note that since the eigenvectors are linearly independent, the matrix formula_39 is invertible. It is also known that where "B" is a standard Brownian motion and Where formula_47 is the Euler hypergeometric integral. Say we want to simulate an "fBm" at points formula_48. The integral may be efficiently computed by Gaussian quadrature.
