Abstract

Stochastic processes with memory subjected to a periodic boundary condition are investigated. The transition probability function for some types of memory behavior is calculated by summing over all possible paths within a white noise functional integral framework. Specific examples such as processes in spaces with circular topology and wedges are discussed.

Dedicated to Ludwig Streit on his 75th birthday.
