Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications

An algorithm is proposed for simulation of superpositions of Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes which may have short- or long-range dependencies and specified marginal distributions. The algorithm is based on the Bondesson–Rosinski representation of the supOU process as a shot-noise process and enables a clear constructive view on the structure of supOU processes. The use of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated for eight positive marginal distributions and eight entire real line marginal distributions when the explicit formulae for the Lévy density are available or not.

In many practical systems, the load changes at the moments when random events occur, which are often modeled as arrivals in a Poisson process independent of the current load state. This modeling approach is widely applicable in areas such as telecommunications, queueing theory, and reliability engineering. This motivates the development of models that combine family-wise scaling with non-Gaussian driving mechanisms, capturing discontinuities or jump-type behavior. In this paper, a stationary time series is formed from increments of a family-wise scaling process defined on the positive real line. This family-wise scaling process is expressed as an integral of a pseudo-Poisson type process. It is established that this stationary time series exhibits long-range dependence, as indicated by an autocovariance function that decays following a power law with a slowly varying component, and a spectral density that displays a power-law divergence at low frequencies. The autocovariances are not summable, indicating strong correlations over long time intervals. This framework extends the classical results on fractional Gaussian noise as well as on series driven by Poisson-type or Lévy-type noise. Additionally, it provides a versatile methodology for the spectral analysis of one-sided long-memory stochastic processes.

The so-called multi-mixed fractional Brownian motions (mmfBm) and multi-mixed fractional Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (mmfOU) processes are studied. These processes are constructed by mixing by superimposing or mixing (infinitely many) independent fractional Brownian motions (fBm) and fractional Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes (fOU), respectively. Their existence as ${L^{2}}$ processes is proved, and their path properties, viz. long-range and short-range dependence, Hölder continuity, p-variation, and conditional full support, are studied.
