On fractional tempered stable motion.

Fractional tempered stable motion (fTSm) is defined and studied. FTSm has the same covariance structure as fractional Brownian motion, while having tails heavier than Gaussian ones but lighter than (non-Gaussian) stable ones. Moreover, in short time it is close to fractional stable Lévy motion, while it is approximately fractional Brownian motion in long time. A series representation of fTSm is derived and used for simulation and to study some of its sample paths properties.
