We investigate the properties of multifractal products of geometric Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) processes driven by Lévy motion. The conditions on the mean, variance, and covariance functions of the resulting cumulative processes are interpreted in terms of the moment generating functions. We consider five cases of infinitely divisible distributions for the background driving Lévy processes, namely, the gamma and variance gamma distributions, the inverse Gaussian and normal inverse Gaussian distributions, and the z-distributions. We establish the corresponding scenarios for the limiting processes, including their Rényi functions and dependence structure.

Matsumoto and Yor have recently discovered an interesting invariance property of a product of the generalized inverse Gaussian and gamma distributions. In this paper we obtain: (1) a complete regression version of its converse; (2) a converse to the matrix variate Matsumoto–Yor property which extends an earlier result. Of independent interest is a functional equation for matrix valued functions, which has been solved in the course of investigation of the second problem.

Background: Remaining useful life (RUL) estimation is the central mission to the complex systems’ prognostics and health management. During last decades, numbers of developments and applications of the RUL estimation have proliferated. Objective: As one of the most popular approaches, stochastic process-based approach has been widely used for characterizing the degradation trajectories and estimating RULs. This paper aimed at reviewing the latest methods and patents on this topic. Methods: The review is concentrated on four common stochastic processes for degradation modelling and RUL estimation, i.e., Gamma process, Wiener process, inverse Gaussian process and Markov chain. Results: After a briefly review of these four models, we pointed out the pros and cons of them, as well as the improvement direction of each method. Conclusion: For better implementation, the applications of these four approaches on maintenance and decision-making are systematically introduced. Finally, the possible future trends are concluded tentatively.
