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
Brownian motion in 1908 and Perrin in 1909. The confirmation of Einstein's theory constituted empirical progress for the kinetic theory of heat. In essence, Einstein showed that the motion can be predicted directly from the kinetic model of thermal equilibrium. The importance of the theory lay in the fact that it confirmed the kinetic theory's account of the second law of thermodynamics as being an essentially statistical law. Smoluchowski's theory of Brownian motion starts from the same premise as that of Einstein and derives the same probability distribution "ρ"("x", "t") for the displacement of a Brownian particle along the "x" in time
