Lévy's modulus of continuity

Lévy's modulus of continuity

In mathematics, Lévy's modulus of continuity is a theorem that gives an almost sure estimate of the modulus of continuity for Brownian motion. It is due to the French mathematician Paul Pierre Lévy.

tatement of the result

Let B : [0, 1] imes Omega o mathbb{R} be a standard Brownian motion. Then, almost surely,:lim_{h o 0} sup_{0 leq t leq 1 - h} frac{sqrt{2 h log (1 / h) = 1.

In other words, the sample paths of Brownian motion have modulus of continuity

:omega_{B} (delta) = sqrt{2 delta log (1 / delta)}

with probability one, and for sufficiently small delta > 0.
