Correlated fractional counting processes on a finite-time interval

Abstract

We present some correlated fractional counting processes on a finite-time interval. This will be done by considering a slight generalization of the processes in Borges et al. (2012). The main case concerns a class of space-time fractional Poisson processes and, when the correlation parameter is equal to 0, the univariate distributions coincide with those of the space-time fractional Poisson process in Orsingher and Polito (2012). On the one hand, when we consider the time fractional Poisson process, the multivariate finite-dimensional distributions are different from those presented for the renewal process in Politi et al. (2011). We also consider a case concerning a class of fractional negative binomial processes.
