We show that under certain conditions, the persistence of such a continuous process reduces to the persistence of a corresponding discrete sequence obtained from the measurement of the process only at integer times. We then construct a specific sequence for which the persistence can be computed even though the sequence is non-Markovian. We show that this may be considered as a limiting case of persistence in the diffusion process on a hierarchical lattice.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-06-19T05:56:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "persistence", "stationary time-series", "integer times", "continuous stochastic processes", "integer shifts" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
