Fractional Brownian motion stationary and self-similar increments. It has stationary increments: For "H" > ½ the process exhibits long-range dependence, Sample-paths are almost nowhere differentiable. However, almost-all trajectories are locally Hölder continuous of any order strictly less than "H": for each such trajectory, for every "T" > 0 and for every "ε" > 0 there exists a (random) constant "c" such that for 0 < "s","t" < "T". With probability 1, the graph of "B"("t") has both Hausdorff dimension and box dimension of 2−"H". As for regular Brownian motion, one can define stochastic integrals with respect to fractional Brownian motion, usually called "fractional
Brownian motion was able to rule out that the motion was life-related, although its origin was yet to be explained. The first person to describe the mathematics behind Brownian motion was Thorvald N. Thiele in a paper on the method of least squares published in 1880. This was followed independently by Louis Bachelier in 1900 in his PhD thesis "The theory of speculation", in which he presented a stochastic analysis of the stock and option markets. The Brownian motion model of the stock market is often cited, but Benoit Mandelbrot rejected its applicability to stock price movements in part because these are
