Standard and fractional reflected Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes as the limits of square roots of Cox–Ingersoll–Ross processes

ABSTRACT In this paper, we establish a new connection between Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) and reflected Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (ROU) models driven by either a standard Wiener process or a fractional Brownian motion withH > 1 2 . We prove that, with probability 1, the square root of the CIR process converges uniformly on compacts to the ROU process as the mean reversion parameter tends to either σ/4 (in the standard case) or to 0 (in the fractional case). This also allows to obtain a new representation of the reflection function of the ROU as the limit of integral functionals of the CIR processes. The results of the paper are illustrated by simulations.
