Abstract

We begin with stochastic processes obtained as sums of "up-and-down" pulses with random moments of birth [tau] and random lifetime w determined by a Poisson random measure. When the pulse amplitude [var epsilon] --> 0, while the pulse density [delta] increases to infinity, one obtains a process of "fractal sum of micropulses." A CLT style argument shows convergence in the sense of finite dimensional distributions to a Gaussian process with negatively correlated increments. In the most interesting case the limit is fractional Brownian motion (FBM), a self-affine process with the scaling constant . The construction is extended to the multidimensional FBM field as well as to micropulses of more complicated shape.
