Abstract
We show that under suitable conditions the covariance of a Gaussian reciprocal process satisfies a self-adjoint linear differential equation of second order. We also give a revised definition of a linear stochastic differential equation of second order and necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions of such equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We close with a series of examples of the theory applied to the scalar stationary Gaussian Reciprocal processes which have been completely classified.Keywords
