Mar 25, 2011 at 21:09 comment added jzadeh Concerning 2) and and the comment following 3) I have been moving back and forth between analyzing the iterated density of $X_n$ and analyzing the behavior of its moment generating function and these comments really apply to the mgf.

Mar 25, 2011 at 6:56 comment added jzadeh The density of $X_n(t)$ is given by the iterated integral in **
Mar 25, 2011 at 6:56 comment added jzadeh Yes this is true if you look at this from a probabilistic perspective you can argue by self similarity. So set $X_n(t)=B_n(B_{n-1}(...(B1(t))...))$ where $B_i$ is two-sided Brownian motion. Then the following equalities hold in distribution: $X_n(t)=t^{\frac{1}{2^n}} X_n(1)$ taking limits on both sides we see that the random variable $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} X_n(t)$ depends only on $X_n(1)$ (i.e. is time invariant). Other authors have made this more rigorous (there is a proof that the asymptotic density is time invariant based on method of moments)
Mar 25, 2011 at 5:37 comment added Bjørn Kjos-Hanssen Looks like the left hand side of (**) depends on $t$, but the right hand side does not?
