Brownian model of financial markets as: Note that formula_21 and formula_139 are absolutely continuous with respect to each other, i.e. they are equivalent. Also, according to Girsanov's theorem, is a formula_6-dimensional Brownian motion process on the filtration formula_146 with respect to formula_139. A complete financial market is one that allows effective hedging of the risk inherent in any investment strategy. Let formula_89 be a standard financial market, and formula_149 be an formula_140-measurable random variable, such that: The market formula_89 is said to be "complete" if every such formula_149 is "financeable", i.e. if there is an formula_155-financed portfolio process formula_156, such that its associated wealth process
Brownian motion which differs from Smoluchowski by 27/64 can only be put in doubt." Smoluchowski attempts to answer the question of why a Brownian particle should be displaced by bombardments of smaller particles when the probabilities for striking it in the forward and rear directions are equal. If the probability of "m" gains and "n" − "m" losses follows a binomial distribution, with equal "a priori" probabilities of 1/2, the mean total gain is If "n" is large enough so that Stirling's approximation can be used in the form then the expected total gain will be showing that it increases as the
