Brownian motion diverges as the window shrinks, thus rendering the calculation a singular perturbation problem. Brownian motion Brownian motion or pedesis (from "leaping") is the random motion of particles suspended in a fluid (a liquid or a gas) resulting from their collision with the fast-moving molecules in the fluid. This pattern of motion typically alternates random fluctuations in a particle's position inside a fluid sub-domain with a relocation to another sub-domain. Each relocation is followed by more fluctuations within the new closed volume. This pattern describes a fluid at thermal equilibrium, defined by a given temperature. Within such fluid there exists no
Brownian noise it has more energy at lower frequencies, even more so than pink noise. It decreases in power by 6 dB per octave (20 dB per decade) and, when heard, has a "damped" or "soft" quality compared to white and pink noise. The sound is a low roar resembling a waterfall or heavy rainfall. See also violet noise, which is a 6 dB "increase" per octave. Strictly, Brownian motion has a Gaussian probability distribution, but "red noise" could apply to any signal with the 1/"f" frequency spectrum. A Brownian motion, also called a Wiener process, is obtained as the integral of
