Other Applications of Brownian Motion

Medical Imaging

(image classification and edge recognition problems)

(route planning over non regular terrain)

(flooding and droughts)

(non equilibrium diffusion problems)

(analytic modeling of decision actions which have a threshold for occurring)

(when to close or open processes which are contingent on random external factors)

(optimal sequence for processing in a multiple node network of processors which handle queues)

(a backgammon game which includes doubling the stakes with a dice throw can be modeled by Brownian motion)

(nano scale sized lead particles trapped in an aluminum matrix at the melting point of lead exhibit Brownian motion.)

(stock market prices can be approximately modeled by Brownian motion)
