Abstract

We show that the distribution of the maximum of the fractional Brownian motion BH with Hurst parameter H√→ 0 over an n-point set τ ⊂ [0, 1] can be approximated by the normal law with mean ln n and variance 1/2 provided that n → ∞ slowly enough and the points in τ are not too close to each other.
