We consider the diffusion scaling limit of the vicious walkers, which is a model of nonintersecting random walks. We show a functional central limit theorem for the model and derive two types of nonintersecting Brownian motions, in which we impose nonitersecting condition in the finite time interval (0,T] (resp. in the infinite time interval (0,)) for the first-type (resp. second-type). The first-type is a temporally inhomogeneous diffusion, and the second-type is a temporally homogeneous diffusion called Dyson's model of Brownian motions. We also study the vicious walkers with wall restriction and prove the functional central limit theorem in the diffusion scaling limit.
