A note on the exact simulation of spherical Brownian motion. Mijatović, A.; Mramor, V.; and Uribe Bravo, G. Statistics & Probability Letters, 165:108836, 2020.
Paper doi abstract bibtex We describe an exact simulation algorithm for the increments of Brownian motion on a sphere of arbitrary dimension, based on the skew-product decomposition of the process with respect to the standard geodesic distance. The radial process is closely related to a Wright–Fisher diffusion, increments of which can be simulated exactly using the recent work of Jenkins & Spanò (2017). The rapid spinning phenomenon of the skew-product decomposition then yields the algorithm for the increments of the process on the sphere.
