Fractional Brownian Motion and the Markov Property

Abstract

Fractional Brownian motion belongs to a class of long memory Gaussian processes that can be represented as linear functionals of an infinite dimensional Markov process. This leads naturally to:
  1. An efficient algorithm to approximate the process.
  2. An ergodic theorem which applies to functionals of the type
    $$int_0^t phi(V_h(s)),ds quadtext{where}quad V_h(s)=int_0^s h(s-u), dB_u,.$$
where $B$ is a real Brownian motion.
