The space-fractional Poisson process

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In this paper we introduce the space-fractional Poisson process whose state probabilities pkalpha(t), t>0, alphain(0,1], are governed by the equations (mathrmd/mathrmdt)pk(t)=lambdaalpha(1B)pkalpha(t), where (1B)alpha is the fractional difference operator found in the study of time series analysis. We explicitly obtain the distributions pkalpha(t), the probability generating functions Galpha(u,t), which are also expressed as distributions of the minimum of i.i.d. uniform random variables. The comparison with the time-fractional Poisson process is investigated and finally, we arrive at the more general space-time fractional Poisson process of which we give the explicit distribution.
