Local Time (mathematics)
In the mathematical theory of stochastic processes, local time is a stochastic process associated with diffusion processes such as Brownian motion, that characterizes the amount of time a particle has spent at a given level. Local time is very useful and often appears in various stochastic integration formulas if the integrand is not sufficiently smooth, such as Tanaka's formula.
