Multifractal Fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Processes


Abstract in English

The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process can be seen as a paradigm of a finite-variance and statistically stationary rough random walk. Furthermore, it is defined as the unique solution of a Markovian stochastic dynamics and shares the same local regularity as the one of the Brownian motion. Based on previous works, we propose to include in the framework of one of its generalization, the so-called fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, some Multifractal corrections, using a Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos. The aforementioned process, called a Multifractal fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, is a statistically stationary finite-variance process. Its underlying dynamics is non-Markovian, although non-anticipating and causal. The numerical scheme and theoretical approach are based on a regularization procedure, that gives a meaning to this dynamical evolution, which unique solution converges towards a well-behaved stochastic process.
