| Summary: | This paper introduces and explores a novel class of Brown and Levy steady-state motions. These motions generalize, respectively, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process (OUP) and the Levy-driven OUP. As the OUP and the Levy-driven OUP: the motions are Markov; their dynamics are Langevin; and their steady-state distributions are, respectively, Gauss and Levy. As the Levy-driven OUP: the motions can display the Noah effect (heavy-tailed amplitudal fluctuations); and their memory structure is tunable. And, as Gaussian-stationary processes: the motions can display the Joseph effect (long-ranged temporal dependencies); and their correlation structure is tunable. The motions have two parameters: a critical exponent which determines the Noah effect and the memory structure; and a clock function which determines the Joseph effect and the correlation structure. The novel class is a compelling stochastic model due to the following combination of facts: on the one hand the motions are tractable and amenable to analysis and use; on the other hand the model is versatile and the motions display a host of both regular and anomalous features. |
