Brownian web is what we now call the Brownian web. Formally speaking, it is a collection of one-dimensional coalescing Brownian motions starting from every space-time point in formula_1. The fact that the Brownian web consists of an "uncountable" number of Brownian motions is what makes the construction highly non-trivial. Arratia gave a construction but was unable to prove convergence of coalescing random walks to a limiting object and characterize such a limiting object. Tóth and Werner in their study of the true self-repelling motion obtained many detailed properties of this limiting object and its dual but did not prove convergence of coalescing
Brownian surface Brownian surface A Brownian surface is a fractal surface generated via a fractal elevation function. For instance, in the three-dimensional case, where two variables "X" and "Y" are given as coordinates, the elevation function between any two points ("x", "y") and ("x", "y") can be set to have a mean or expected value that increases as the vector distance between ("x", "y") and ("x", "y"). There are, however, many ways of defining the elevation function. For instance, the fractional Brownian motion variable may be used, or various rotation functions may be used to achieve more natural looking surfaces. As with
