Abstract
Results of Taylor and Marcus and Rosen on the total variation of Gaussian processes and local times of associated symmetric stable processes are extended to a large class of symmetric Levy processes. In this extension, the increments variance sigma2(h) of the Gaussian process is generalized to a regularly varying function with index 0 < alpha < 2. The total variation function &phiv;(&middot;) is generalized to 4x=r -1x2log +log1/x . where sh=b hrh =bhha exp1h eu udu. where 0 < alpha < 1, limh &rarr;0beta(h) = 1 and limu &rarr;0 epsilon(u) = 0.
