Brown motion process

64 Views Asked by At

I've downloaded a whole book about Brownian Motion (BM)!! Can someone please explain to me

  1. How many types of Brownian motions do we have?

  2. And When somebody says "Brownian motion generated by a random walk", which one of those types of Brownian motion it is?

  3. How do we judge if a stochastic process is a Brownian motion? IS it that any process which has the characteristics mentioned below is a BM process?

My current knowledge is this: If $X_t$ be a BM process then

  1. $ X_0=0$

  2. and $X_t $ has homogeneous stable independent increment.

  3. $ X_t$ is normally distributed $N(0,c^2t)$

If $ c=1$ then we have a Standard BM and we show it by $B_t$.

BM is not a stationary process, but its increment is stationary.
