Abstract

We consider the existence and Hölder continuity conditions for the k-th-order derivatives of self-intersection local time for d-dimensional fractional Brownian motion, where \(k=(k_1,k_2,\ldots , k_d)\). Moreover, we show a limit theorem for the critical case with \(H=\frac{2}{3}\) and \(d=1\), which was conjectured by Jung and Markowsky [7].
