	Brownian motion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Brownian motion of particles in a liquid is due to the instantaneous imbalance in the force exerted by the small liquid molecules on the particle.
		Brownian motion is related to the random walk problem and it is generic in the sense that many different stochastic processes reduce to Brownian motion in suitable limits.
		For a particle experiencing a brownian motion corresponding to the mathematical definition, the equation governing the time evolution of the probability density function associated to the position of the Brownian particle is the diffusion equation, a partial differential equation.

	Science Fair Projects - Brownian motion
		Brownian motion was discovered by the biologist Robert Brown in 1827.
		The first to give a theory of Brownian motion was Louis Bachelier in 1900 in his PhD thesis "The theory of speculation".
		Mathematically, Brownian motion is a Wiener process in which the conditional probability distribution of the particle's position at time t+dt, given that its position at time t is p, is a normal distribution with a mean of p+μ dt and a variance of σ

		The Geometric Brownian Motion is a log-normal diffusion process, with the variance growing proportionally to the time interval.
		Although the volatility term is the same of the geometric Brownian for V, as highlighted by Dixit, d(lnV) is different of dV/V due the drift.

		Einstein also investigated Brownian motion and was able to explain it so that it not only confirmed the existence of atoms but could be used to determine their dimensions.
		Einstein's explanation of Brownian motion and its subsequent experimental confirmation was one of the most important pieces of evidence for the hypothesis that matter is composed of atoms.
		This idea of relative motion is central to relativity, and is one of the two postulates of the special theory, which considers uniform relative motion.

		However, when we use a different formula for the probability of the first passage time, as the problem is known, in asset forecasting models we get a different result for the probability of the asset hitting the barrier.
		First passage time is a central concept in the analysis of Brownian motions with absorbing barriers.
		Consider a Brownian particle undergoing a one-dimensional random walk within a domain between x=0 and x=L, the boundaries being such that the particle will be reflected at x=0 and absorbed at x=L. If the particle starts from some position within the domain when will it hit the absorbing boundary for the first time?

		My understanding is that GBM is one specific stochastic process that has constant drift and volatility parameters.
		These processes often look like GBM and much of the mathematics is the same.
		From my understanding, GBM is generally used to represent the paths of assets, where the log of the asset (=underlying variable x) follows a generalized Wiener process (constant drift and variance rates).

	Stochastics on the Street Column: Formulas and Numerics
		First of all, many people have noticed, and there are literally thousands of research articles making this point, that geometric Brownian motion is simply too simple a model to describe option prices accurately.
		With these models – or with any models which are not geometric Brownian motion, there are typically no formulas for prices or hedging strategies of European calls or puts (or American puts, of course).
		This means that the speed of convergence of the numerical schemes increases geometrically with dimension; so the techniques work well for one stock, two stocks and even three stocks, but for four or more stocks the techniques will simply be too slow to be useful.
