Brownian bridge of the Brownian bridge based on the Brownian motion is, for "t" ∈ [0, T] Conversely, for "t" ∈ [0, ∞] The Brownian bridge may also be represented as a Fourier series with stochastic coefficients, as where formula_9 are independent identically distributed standard normal random variables (see the Karhunen–Loève theorem). A Brownian bridge is the result of Donsker's theorem in the area of empirical processes. It is also used in the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test in the area of statistical inference. A standard Wiener process satisfies "W"(0) = 0 and is therefore "tied down" to the origin, but other points are not
Brownian motion "x", 1 ≤ "i" ≤ "m", is given by ½Δ, where Δ is the Laplace–Beltrami operator given in local coordinates by where ["g"] = ["g"] in the sense of the inverse of a square matrix. The narrow escape problem is a ubiquitous problem in biology, biophysics and cellular biology which has the following formulation: a Brownian particle (ion, molecule, or protein) is confined to a bounded domain (a compartment or a cell) by a reflecting boundary, except for a small window through which it can escape. The narrow escape problem is that of calculating the mean escape time. This time
