AbstractWe consider the median of n independent Brownian motions, denoted by Mn(t), and show that $$\sqrt{n}\,M_n$$ converges weakly to a centered Gaussian process. The chief difficulty is establishing tightness, which is proved through direct estimates on the increments of the median process. An explicit formula is given for the covariance function of the limit process. The limit process is also shown to be Hölder continuous with exponent γ for all γ < 1/4.
Central Limit Theorems for Some Symmetric Stochastic Integrals
The problem of stochastic integration with respect to fractional Brownian motion (fBm) with H 1/4, but not in general if H ≤ 1/4. We consider four different types of Riemann sums and their associated
Concentration of measure for systems of Brownian particles interacting through their ranks
• Mathematics

We consider a finite or countable collection of one-dimensional Brownian particles whose dynamics at any point in time is determined by their rank in the entire particle system. Using Transportation
Empirical Quantile Central Limit Theorems for Some Self-Similar Processes
• Mathematics
• 2015
In Swanson (Probab Theory Relat Fields 138:269–304, 2007), a central limit theorem (CLT) for the sample median of independent Brownian motions with value $$0$$0 at $$0$$0 was proved. Here, we extend
A CLT for empirical processes involving time-dependent data

For stochastic processes {Xt : t∈E}, we establish sufficient conditions for the empirical process based on {IXt≤y−Pr(Xt≤y) : t∈E,y∈R} to satisfy the CLT uniformly in t∈E, y∈R. Corollaries of our main
EMPIRICAL QUANTILE CLTS FOR SOME SELF-SIMILAR PROCESSES
• Mathematics
• 2013
In (8) a CLT for the sample median of independent Brownian motions with value 0 at 0 was proved. Here we extend this result in two ways. We prove such a result for a collection of self-similar
Couplings and Strong Approximations to Time-Dependent Empirical Processes Based on I.I.D. Fractional Brownian Motions

Gaussian couplings and strong approximations to it by Gaussian processes lead to functional laws of the iterated logarithm for this process.

We study two models consisting of reflecting one-dimensional Brownian "particles" of positive radius. We show that the stationary empirical distributions for the particle systems do not converge to

We determine rates of convergence of rank-based interacting diffusions and semimartingale reflecting Brownian motions to equilibrium. Bounds on fluctuations of additive functionals are obtained using

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the trajectories of a tagged particle (tp) in an infinite one-dimensional system of point particles. The particles move independently when not in contact:
DIFFUSION WITH "COLLISIONS" BETWEEN PARTICLES
First consider two particles diffusing on the same line, with positions at time t given by yl(t) and y2(t) respectively. We suppose that they cannot pass one another, so that if initially y(O) <
