Fractional Lévy motion through path integrals
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. Fractional Lévy motion (fLm) is the natural generalization of fractional Brownian motion in the context of self-similar stochastic processes and stable probability distributions. In this paper we give an explicit derivation of the propagator of fLm by using path integral methods. The propagators of Brownian motion and fractional Brownian motion are recovered as particular cases. The fractional diffusion equation corresponding to fLm is also obtained.

Fractional Generalization of Kac Integral
Kac integral [1, 2, 3] appears as a path-wise presentation of Brownian motion and shortly becomes, with Feynman approach [4], a powerful tool to study different processes described by the wave-type or diffusion-type equations. In the basic papers [1, 4], the paths distribution was based on averaging over the Wiener measure. It is worthwhile to mention the Kac comment that the Wiener measure can...
متن کاملA tree approach to p-variation and to integration
We consider a real-valued path; it is possible to associate a tree to this path, and we explore the relations between the tree, the properties of p-variation of the path, and integration with respect to the path. In particular, the fractal dimension of the tree is estimated from the variations of the path, and Young integrals with respect to the path, as well as integrals from the rough paths t...

متن کاملPrediction of fractional convoluted Lévy processes with application to credit risk
Fractional convoluted Lévy processes (fcLps) are introduced by a multivariate componentwise Molchan-Gosolov transformation based on an n-dimensional driving Lévy process. Using results of fractional calculus and infinitely divisible distributions we are able to calculate the conditional characteristic function of integrals driven by fcLps. This leads to important prediction results including th...
متن کاملFractional calculus in hydrologic modeling: A numerical perspective.
Fractional derivatives can be viewed either as handy extensions of classical calculus or, more deeply, as mathematical operators defined by natural phenomena. This follows the view that the diffusion equation is defined as the governing equation of a Brownian motion. In this paper, we emphasize that fractional derivatives come from the governing equations of stable Lévy motion, and that fractio...
