Brownian web is what we now call the Brownian web. Formally speaking, it is a collection of one-dimensional coalescing Brownian motions starting from every space-time point in formula_1. The fact that the Brownian web consists of an "uncountable" number of Brownian motions is what makes the construction highly non-trivial. Arratia gave a construction but was unable to prove convergence of coalescing random walks to a limiting object and characterize such a limiting object. Tóth and Werner in their study of the true self-repelling motion obtained many detailed properties of this limiting object and its dual but did not prove convergence of coalescing
Brownian model of financial markets for buying or selling). Another assumption is that asset prices have no jumps, that is there are no surprises in the market. This last assumption is removed in jump diffusion models. Consider a financial market consisting of formula_1 financial assets, where one of these assets, called a "bond" or "money market", is risk free while the remaining formula_2 assets, called "stocks", are risky. A "financial market" is defined as formula_3 that satisfies the following: Let formula_17 be a probability space, and a formula_18 be D-dimensional Brownian motion stochastic process, with the natural filtration: If formula_20 are the measure 0 (i.e.
