Abstract

LetX be a Brownian motion defined on the line (withX(0)=0) and letY be an independent Brownian motion defined on the nonnegative real numbers. For allt≥0, we define theiterated Brownian motion (IBM),Z, by setting\(Z_t \underline{\underline \vartriangle } X(Y_t )\). In this paper we determine the exact uniform modulus of continuity of the process Z.
