Rotational Brownian motion Rotational Brownian motion Rotational Brownian motion is the random change in the orientation of a polar molecule due to collisions with other molecules. It is an important element of theories of dielectric materials. The polarization of a dielectric material is a competition between torques due to the imposed electric field, which tend to align the molecules, and collisions, which tend to destroy the alignment. The theory of rotational Brownian motion allows one to calculate the net result of these two competing effects, and to predict how the permittivity of a dielectric material depends on the strength and frequency of the
Brownian model of financial markets for buying or selling). Another assumption is that asset prices have no jumps, that is there are no surprises in the market. This last assumption is removed in jump diffusion models. Consider a financial market consisting of formula_1 financial assets, where one of these assets, called a "bond" or "money market", is risk free while the remaining formula_2 assets, called "stocks", are risky. A "financial market" is defined as formula_3 that satisfies the following: Let formula_17 be a probability space, and a formula_18 be D-dimensional Brownian motion stochastic process, with the natural filtration: If formula_20 are the measure 0 (i.e.
