PROBABILITY SEMINAR
TIME: 10:10 – 11:00
ROOM: Temple 303
SPEAKER: Professor David White
TITLE: "A Brownian particle trapped in a box"
ABSTRACT: We construct a stochastic process whose drift is a function of the process's local time at a pair of linked reflecting barriers. The process is related to Knight's model of the interactions of a Brownian particle and an inert particle.
Wednesday, September 1
