Brownian web paths from a random space time point. The introduction of this topology allowed them to prove the convergence of the coalescing random walks to a unique limiting object and characterize it. They named this limiting object Brownian web. An extension of the Brownian web, called the Brownian net, has been introduced by Sun and Swart by allowing the coalescing Brownian motions to undergo branching. An alternative construction of the Brownian net was given by Newman, Ravishankar and Schertzer. For a recent survey, see Schertzer, Sun and Swart. Brownian web In probability theory, the Brownian web is an uncountable collection of
Brownian motion moment of probability of displacement formula_2, is interpreted as mass diffusivity "D": Then the density of Brownian particles "ρ" at point "x" at time "t" satisfies the diffusion equation: Assuming that "N" particles start from the origin at the initial time "t"=0, the diffusion equation has the solution This expression (which is a normal distribution with the mean formula_12 and variance formula_13 usually called Brownian motion formula_14) allowed Einstein to calculate the moments directly. The first moment is seen to vanish, meaning that the Brownian particle is equally likely to move to the left as it is to move to
