Abstract

We study certain aspects of the sample path behaviour of χ2 processes; in particular, problems related to the behaviour of these processes at their local extrema. Emphasis is placed on behaviour that is qualitatively different to that observed for Gaussian processes, rather than on phenomena common to both classes of processes, such as previously studied (global) extremal type results.
