在数学中，奥恩斯坦-乌伦贝克过程（Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process，简称OU过程）是一个随机过程，在金融数学和物理学中有很多的引用。OU过程描述一个经历摩擦的布朗粒子（damped random walk）。^[1]

这个过程以奥恩斯坦（Leonard Ornstein）和乔治·乌伦贝克的名字命名。

这是一个自迴歸模型AR(1)。

定义

OU过程有下面的随机微分方程

${\displaystyle dx_{t}=-\theta \,x_{t}\,dt+\sigma \,dW_{t))$

其中的 ${\displaystyle \theta >0}$ ， ${\displaystyle \sigma >0}$ 是参数，并且 ${\displaystyle W_{t))$ 是维纳过程。^[2][3][4]

${\displaystyle dx_{t}=\theta (\mu -x_{t})\,dt+\sigma \,dW_{t))$

${\displaystyle \mu }$ 是常值。上面的方程是Vasicek模型。^[5]

福克–普朗克方程

OU过程的福克–普朗克方程是^[6]

${\displaystyle {\frac {\partial P}{\partial t))=\theta {\frac {\partial }{\partial x))(xP)+D{\frac {\partial ^{2}P}{\partial x^{2))))$

${\displaystyle D=\sigma ^{2}/2}$。这是一个抛物偏微分方程。方程的解是

${\displaystyle P(x,t\mid x',t')={\sqrt {\frac {\theta }{2\pi D(1-e^{-2\theta (t-t')})))}\exp \left[-{\frac {\theta }{2D)){\frac {(x-x'e^{-\theta (t-t')})^{2)){1-e^{-2\theta (t-t')))}\right]}$
