Abstract

We study stationary processes given as solutions to stochastic differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motion. This rich class includes the fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and those processes that can be obtained from it by state space transformations. An explicit formula in terms of Euler's Γ-function describes the asymptotic behaviour of the covariance function of the fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process near zero, which, by an application of Berman's condition, guarantees that this process is in the maximum domain of attraction of the Gumbel distribution. Necessary and sufficient conditions on the state space transforms are stated to classify the maximum domain of attraction of solutions to stochastic differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motion.
