Heteroskedastic Lévy flights
نویسنده
چکیده
Truncated Lévy flights are random walks in which the arbitrarily large steps of a Lévy flight are eliminated. Since this makes the variance finite, the central limit theorem applies, and as time increases the probability distribution of the increments becomes Gaussian. Here, truncated Lévy flights with correlated fluctuations of the variance (heteroskedasticity) are considered. What makes these processes interesting is the fact that the crossover to the Gaussian regime may occur for times considerably larger than for uncorrelated (or no) variance fluctuations. These processes may find direct application in the modeling of some economic time series. PACS numbers: 05.40.Fb, 05.40.-a, 02.50.-r, 89.90.+n Typeset using REVTEX

Lévy flights and Lévy-Schrödinger semigroups
We analyze two different confining mechanisms for Lévy flights in the presence of external potentials. One of them is due to a conservative force in the corresponding Langevin equation. Another is implemented by Lévy-Schrödinger semigroups which induce so-called topological Lévy processes (Lévy flights with locally modified jump rates in the master equation). Given a stationary probability func...
متن کاملThe Symmetric Stable Lévy Flights and the Feynman Path Integral
We determine the solution of the fractional spatial diffusion equation in n-dimensional Euclidean space for a “free” particle by computing the corresponding propagator. We employ both the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian approaches which produce exact results for the case of jumps governed by symmetric stable Lévy flights.
متن کاملLévy Walks, Lévy Flights und ihre Verwendung in neuen epidemiologischen Modellen
Seit ihrem ersten Auftreten in chaotischen Systemen vor mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten haben Lévy Random Walks in zahlreichen Bereichen der Physik zur Beschreibung anomaler Diffusion Verwendung gefunden. Sie sind auch geeignet, menschliche Reisebewegungen statistisch zu charakterisieren, die in Modellen zur Ausbreitung von Epidemien eine Schlüsselrolle spielen. Tracer in Form von Geldscheinen (Dolla...
