Kac-Stroock type approximations for the Brownian motion from renewal processes

In the present paper we show that the processes X={X(t):t∈[0,1]}, n∈N, defined by X(t)=nC∫ (-1)du, where L={L(t):t≥0} is a renewal process whose inter-arrival times satisfy some integrability conditions and C>0 is some normalizing constant, weakly converge, in the space of continuous functions ov...

Sumario:In the present paper we show that the processes X={X(t):t∈[0,1]}, n∈N, defined by X(t)=nC∫ (-1)du, where L={L(t):t≥0} is a renewal process whose inter-arrival times satisfy some integrability conditions and C>0 is some normalizing constant, weakly converge, in the space of continuous functions over [0,1], C([0,1]), to the Brownian motion as n approaches infinity. This result thus generalizes the well-known result of D. W. Stroock (1982), where L is taken to be a standard Poisson process. In particular, we see that these results are a mere consequence of Donsker's invariance principle.
