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is now known as the Brownian web was first conceived by Arratia in his Ph.D. thesis and a subsequent incomplete and unpublished manuscript.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
Brownian noise it has more energy at lower frequencies, even more so than pink noise. It decreases in power by 6 dB per octave (20 dB per decade) and, when heard, has a "damped" or "soft" quality compared to white and pink noise. The sound is a low roar resembling a waterfall or heavy rainfall. See also violet noise, which is a 6 dB "increase" per octave. Strictly, Brownian motion has a Gaussian probability distribution, but "red noise" could apply to any signal with the 1/"f" frequency spectrum. A Brownian motion, also called a Wiener process, is obtained as the integral of
