Fractional Brownian Motion - Persistent

Click the picture to animate.

Here is a graph of fBm with H > 1/2.
For this H, the expected value of the product of the increments is positive, so Y(t) - Y(0) and Y(t + h) - Y(t) tend to have the same sign.
That is, the increments tend to be going in the same direction.
This is persistent fBm.
This picture was produced with the randomized Weierstrass function, taking H = 0.75, b = 1.2, and 50 terms.
Click on the picture to see the corresponding picture with 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 terms.
(The same random number sequence will be used to generate this and the H = 1/2 and H < 1/2 examples).
