The partial differential equations governing the distributions of I_F(t)=B^1_{H_1}(|B^2_{H_2}(t)|), t>0 and J_F(t)=B^1_{H_1}(|B^2_{H_2}(t)|^{1/H_1}), t>0 are derived by different methods and compared with those existing in the literature and with those related to B^1(|B^2_{H_2}(t)|), t>0. The process of iterated Brownian motion I^n_F(t), t>0 is examined in detail and its moments are calculated. Furthermore for J^{n-1}_F(t)=B^1_{H}(|B^2_H(...|B^n_H(t)|^{1/H}...)|^{1/H}), t>0 the following factorization is proved J^{n-1}_F(t)=\\prod_{j=1}^{n} B^j_{\\frac{H}{n}}(t), t>0. A series of compositions involving Cauchy processes and fractional Brownian motions are also studied and the corresponding non-homogeneous wave equations are derived.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2010-03-31T13:36:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J65", "60J60", "26A33" ], "keywords": [ "related partial differential equations", "composition", "independent fractional brownian motions", "partial differential equations governing", "corresponding non-homogeneous wave equations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1003.5276D" } } }
