Let (Zt(q,H))t≥0 denote a Hermite process of order q≥1
and self-similarity parameter H∈(21,1). Consider the
Hermite-driven moving average process Xt(q,H)=∫0tx(t−u)dZ(q,H)(u),t≥0. In the special case of $x(u) = e^{-\theta u}, \theta
0,Xisthenon−stationaryHermiteOrnstein−Uhlenbeckprocessoforderq.Undersuitableintegrabilityconditionsonthekernelx$, we prove that
as T→∞, the normalized quadratic functional GT(q,H)(t)=T2H0−11∫0Tt((Xs(q,H))2−E[(Xs(q,H))2])ds,t≥0, where $H_0 = 1
- (H-1)/q$, converges in the sense of finite-dimensional distribution to the
Rosenblatt process of parameter H′=1+(2H−2)/q, up to a multiplicative
constant, irrespective of self-similarity parameter whenever q≥2. In the
Gaussian case (q=1), our result complements the study started by Nourdin
et al in arXiv:1502.03369, where either central or non-central limit
theorems may arise depending on the value of self-similarity parameter. A
crucial key in our analysis is an extension of the connection between the
classical multiple Wiener-It^{o} integral and the one with respect to a random
spectral measure (initiated by Taqqu (1979)), which may be independent of
interest.
