second time I've written this animation from scratch, as the first was lost when I destroyed my laptop by spilling diet Coke on it, so may as well post it here

It is Hölder continuous with exponent 1/2. Unlike Brownian motion, which is only locally Hölder continuous for exponents 1/2-ε

“Science doesn’t tell us why the Big Bang happened, how the singularity occurred in the first place, or why it exploded when it did. It tells us there is objective scientific evidence that it occurred. So, what exactly was the Big Bang?” – Book III The Enigmatic Mystery

I learned recently that estimating the Hoelder continuity properties of these functions is surprisingly simple (compared to the care that is required for the negative results); really fun stuff!

I don't understand it. But it sure is cool!

A Japanese mathematician published a result in 1944 that nobody understood for twenty years. Today it runs inside every options desk on Wall Street. Goldman pays $400K to quants who can derive it from scratch and explain why classical calculus gives the wrong answer without it. His name is Choongbum Lee. MIT, 18.S096, Topics in Mathematics with Applications in Finance. The course that Wall Street watches. This is lecture 17. It derives Ito's Lemma from scratch. He opens with the problem nobody in classical calculus can solve. Then the foundation. Brownian motion is the limit of a random walk taken to infinity. Each trade pushes a price up or down by a tiny amount. A million trades a day. The limit of that process is Brownian motion. Einstein proved this for pollen particles in 1905. The finance world borrowed the math fifty years later. Then three properties that make no sense until you see them derived. Brownian motion crosses zero infinitely often. It never escapes to infinity. And it is nowhere differentiable - with probability one, every path is continuous but has no slope at any point. That last property is why classical calculus breaks completely. Then quadratic variation. For any smooth function, chop an interval into n pieces, square the increments, sum them - the result goes to zero. For Brownian motion it goes to T. The increments are too wild to vanish. That single fact is why Ito's Lemma has a second term that classical calculus does not. Watch the moment he derives it. Taylor expansion applied to a function of Brownian motion. The first term is what you expect. The second term appears precisely because the squared increment does not vanish. Without it, options pricing gives wrong answers. With it, you have Black-Scholes. A quant I know sends this lecture to junior analysts who cannot explain why their pricing model drifts. Says it fixes in ninety minutes what two years of finance courses left open. Free on YouTube, MIT OpenCourseWare, 18.S096. bookmark this and watch later - the math behind every options desk on Wall Street fits on one blackboard, and this is the lecture that shows you why

Today we introduce Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs). I find that the best way to introduce these complex concepts is to look at an application. This is part I of the lecture🙂 We look at the theory behind electromagnetic scattering/radar clutter which leads to anomaly detection on scattering statistics. When a narrowband wave scatters off a messy cloud of particles, the complex field at your receiver is a random phasor sum...at time t you can write the electric field as E_N(t) = Σⱼ₌₁ᴺ e^{iθⱼ(t)}, each term a unit arrow in the complex plane from scatterer j. This is exactly where the magic of Brownian motion appears naturally and in the most reasonable way. Think of all the microscopic chaos...tiny motions, index fluctuations, path jitters, Doppler shifts that shows up as small random kicks to the phases θⱼ(t) over very short times. If you just made θⱼ(t) random in an ad-hoc way (say, resampling independent angles at each time), the field would jump around unrealistically with no temporal structure. Brownian motion is what you get when you let each phase take the continuous-time limit of many tiny, independent kicks...it’s continuous in t, it has the right cumulative variance growth, and it remembers just enough of its past to look physical. So we model each phase as a Brownian walk, θⱼ(t) = θⱼ⁰ + σ_θ Bⱼ(t), with independent Brownian motions Bⱼ(t) and a phase-diffusion rate σ_θ. Brownian motion here isn’t window dressing...it’s the clean way to compress all the small random stuff into a single process that actually matches how the phases wander in time. #StochasticProcesses #BrownianMotion #ItoCalculus #RadarClutter #RayleighScattering #SignalProcessing

Today we introduce Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs), and the main thing to watch for is this: We’ll use Brownian motion as the basic noise source, then see how well-known SDEs drop out of it naturally, without guessing. I still think the best way into these concepts is through an application. We look at the theory behind electromagnetic scattering and radar clutter, which leads straight into anomaly detection on scattering statistics. When a narrowband wave scatters off a messy cloud of particles, the complex field at your receiver is a random phasor sum. At time t you can write the electric field as E_N(t) = Σⱼ₌₁ᴺ e^{iθⱼ(t)}, each term a unit arrow in the complex plane from scatterer j. This is exactly where Brownian motion shows up in the most reasonable way. Think of all the microscopic chaos: tiny motions, index fluctuations, path jitters, Doppler shifts. Over short times, all of that shows up as small random kicks to the phases θⱼ(t). If you made θⱼ(t) random in an ad-hoc way, like resampling a fresh independent angle at every instant, the field would jump around unrealistically with no physical time structure. Brownian motion is what you get when each phase takes the continuous-time limit of many tiny, independent kicks. It’s continuous in t, its variance grows the right way, and it carries just enough temporal structure to look physical. So we model each phase as a Brownian walk, θⱼ(t) = θⱼ⁰ + σ_θ Bⱼ(t), with independent Brownian motions Bⱼ(t) and a phase-diffusion rate σ_θ. Brownian motion here isn’t window dressing. It’s the clean way to compress all the small random stuff into a single process that actually matches how phases wander in time. This is called Rayleigh Scattering, but the same sum of many tiny coherent echoes shows up in lots of places...e.g. wireless multipath fading (phones/Wi-Fi), laser/optical links through atmospheric turbulence, ultrasound speckle in tissue, and sonar/underwater acoustics in rough or bubbly water. #StochasticProcesses #BrownianMotion #ItoCalculus #RadarClutter #RayleighScattering #SignalProcessing
