Non-Gaussian Density Processes Arising from Non-Poisson Systems of Independent Brownian Motions

Abstract

The Brownian density process is a Gaussian distribution-valued process. It can be defined either as a limit of a functional over a Poisson system of independent Brownian particles or as a solution of a stochastic partial differential equation with respect to Gaussian martingale measure. We show that, with an appropriate change in the initial distribution of the infinite particle system, the limiting density process is non-Gaussian and it solves a stochastic partial differential equation where the initial measure and the driving measure are non-Gaussian, possibly having infinite second moment.
