Brownian motion are independent formula_45 random variables. This representation can be obtained using the Karhunen–Loève theorem. The Wiener process can be constructed as the scaling limit of a random walk, or other discrete-time stochastic processes with stationary independent increments. This is known as Donsker's theorem. Like the random walk, the Wiener process is recurrent in one or two dimensions (meaning that it returns almost surely to any fixed neighborhood of the origin infinitely often) whereas it is not recurrent in dimensions three and higher. Unlike the random walk, it is scale invariant. The time evolution of the position of the Brownian particle
Fractional Brownian motion Friedrich Gauss. Prior to the introduction of the fractional Brownian motion, used the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral to define the process where integration is with respect to the white noise measure "dB"("s"). This integral turns out to be ill-suited to applications of fractional Brownian motion because of its over-emphasis of the origin . The idea instead is to use a different fractional integral of white noise to define the process: the Weyl integral for "t" > 0 (and similarly for "t" < 0). The main difference between fractional Brownian motion and regular Brownian motion is that while the increments in Brownian
