A new alternative diffusion model for asset price movements is presented. In contrast to the popular approach of Brownian motion it proposes deterministic diffusion for the modelling of stock price movements. These diffusion processes are a new area of physical research and can be created by the...

The main theoretical problems of meso-economic system development have been analyzed in this article. For this purpose the system theory, synergetic and gomeostatic approaches, the main principles of dialectics (especially principle contradiction) have been used. Meso-systems (including economic...

Mathematics has been extremely effective in physics, but not in economics beyond finance. To establish economics as science we should follow the Galilean method and try to deduce mathematical models of markets from empirical data, as has been done for financial markets. Financial markets are...
