Fractional normal inverse Gaussian diffusion

چکیده
A fractional normal inverse Gaussian (FNIG) process is a fractional Brownian motion subordinated to an inverse Gaussian process. This paper shows how the FNIG process emerges naturally as the limit of a random walk with correlated jumps separated by i.i.d. waiting times. Similarly, we show that the NIG process, a Brownian motion subordinated to an inverse Gaussian process, is the limit of a random walk with uncorrelated jumps separated by i.i.d. waiting times. The FNIG process is also derived as the limit of a fractional ARIMA processes. Finally, the NIG densities are shown to solve the relativistic diffusion equation from statistical physics. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Optimal results for a time-fractional inverse diffusion problem under the Hölder type source condition
In the present paper we consider a time-fractional inverse diffusion problem, where data is given at $x=1$ and the solution is required in the interval $0
متن کاملA tutorial on inverse problems for anomalous diffusion processes
Over the last two decades, anomalous diffusion processes in which the mean squares variance grows slower or faster than that in a Gaussian process have found many applications. At a macroscopic level, these processes are adequately described by fractional differential equations, which involves fractional derivatives in time or/and space. The fractional derivatives describe either history mechan...
متن کاملLimiting Properties of Empirical Bayes Estimators in a Two-Factor Experiment under Inverse Gaussian Model
The empirical Bayes estimators of treatment effects in a factorial experiment were derived and their asymptotic properties were explored. It was shown that they were asymptotically optimal and the estimator of the scale parameter had a limiting gamma distribution while the estimators of the factor effects had a limiting multivariate normal distribution. A Bootstrap analysis was performed to ill...
متن کاملNew Insights into the Fractional Order Diffusion Equation Using Entropy and Kurtosis
Fractional order derivative operators offer a concise description to model multi-scale, heterogeneous and non-local systems. Specifically, in magnetic resonance imaging, there has been recent work to apply fractional order derivatives to model the non-Gaussian diffusion signal, which is ubiquitous in the movement of water protons within biological tissue. To provide a new perspective for establ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Imaging-based tumor grading is highly desirable but faces challenges in sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy. A recently proposed diffusion imaging method by using a fractional order calculus model offers a set of new parameters to probe not only the diffusion process itself but also intravoxel tissue structures, providing new opportunities for noninvasive tu...
