By applying the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis to the high-frequency tick-by-tick data from Deutsche Börse both in the price and in the time domains, we investigate multifractal properties of the time series of logarithmic price increments and inter-trade intervals of time. We show...

We analyzed multifractal properties of 5-min stock returns from a period of over two years for 100 highly capitalized American companies. The two sources: fat-tailed probability distributions and non-linear temporal correlations, vitally contribute to the observed multifractal dynamics of the...

We analyse the structure of the distribution of eigenvalues of the stock market correlation matrix with increasing length of the time series representing the price changes. We use 100 highly capitalized stocks from the American market and relate the result to the corresponding ensemble of...

The statistics of return distributions on various time scales constitutes one of the most informative characteristics of the financial dynamics. Here, we present a systematic study of such characteristics for the Polish stock market index WIG20 over the period 04.01.1999–31.10.2005 for the...

Based on the tick-by-tick stock prices from the German and American stock markets, we study the statistical properties of the distribution of the individual stocks and the index returns in highly collective and noisy intervals of trading, separately. We show that periods characterized by the...

A novel application of the correlation matrix formalism to study dynamics of the financial evolution is presented. This formalism allows to quantify the memory effects as well as some potential repeatable intraday structures in the financial time series. The present study is based on the...

The correlation matrix formalism is used to study temporal aspects of the stock market evolution. This formalism allows to decompose the financial dynamics into noise as well as into some coherent repeatable intraday structures. The present study is based on the high-frequency Deutsche...

A hypothesis that the financial log-periodicity, cascading self-similarly through various time scales, carries signatures of a law is pursued. It is shown that the most significant historical financial events can be classified amazingly well using a single and unique value of the preferred...

We investigate the origin of order in the low-lying spectra of many-body systems with random two-body interactions. Our study based both on analytical as well as on numerical arguments shows that except for the most J-stretched states, the ground states in the higher J-sectors are more orderly...
