The winding of stationary Gaussian processes

Winding of planar gaussian processes

We consider a smooth, rotationally invariant, centered gaussian process in the plane, with arbitrary correlation matrix Ctt′ . We study the winding angle φt around its center. We obtain a closed formula for the variance of the winding angle as a function of the matrix Ctt′ . For most stationary processes Ctt′ = C(t− t′) the winding angle exhibits diffusion at large time with diffusion coefficie...

Stationary Systems of Gaussian Processes

We describe all countable particle systems on R which have the following three properties: independence, Gaussianity, and stationarity. More precisely, we consider particles on the real line starting at the points of a Poisson point process with intensity measure m and moving independently of each other according to the law of some Gaussian process ξ. We describe all pairs (m, ξ) generating a s...

The Rate of Entropy for Gaussian Processes

In this paper, we show that in order to obtain the Tsallis entropy rate for stochastic processes, we can use the limit of conditional entropy, as it was done for the case of Shannon and Renyi entropy rates. Using that we can obtain Tsallis entropy rate for stationary Gaussian processes. Finally, we derive the relation between Renyi, Shannon and Tsallis entropy rates for stationary Gaussian proc...

Small Deviations of Smooth Stationary Gaussian Processes

We investigate the small deviation probabilities of a class of very smooth stationary Gaussian processes playing an important role in Bayesian statistical inference. Our calculations are based on the appropriate modification of the entropy method due to Kuelbs, Li, and Linde as well as on classical results about the entropy of classes of analytic functions. They also involve Tsirelson’s upper b...
