Abstract

These are Markov processes {Z i : tT} having continuous time parameter spaces and continuous state spaces, and for which a small change in t results in only a small change in Z t . A realisation can be thought of as being the path of a particle moving very erratically in a continuous medium, its progress depending only on its current position.
