We develop a hydrodynamic formulation of fractional fluctuations in a viscoelastic liquid whose longitudinal modulus is a scalar and only depends on time. The method is based on the introduction of fractional time derivatives in the hydrodynamic equations due to the viscoelastic memory. Coupled...

The distribution of price returns is studied for a class of market models with Markovian dynamics. The models have a non-constant diffusion coefficient that depends on the value of the return. An analytical expression for the distribution of returns is obtained, and shown to match the results of...

We analyze a specific class of random systems that, while being driven by a symmetric Lévy stable noise, asymptotically set down at the Boltzmann-type equilibrium, represented by a probability density function (pdf) ρ∗(x)∼exp[−Φ(x)]. This behavior needs to be contrasted with the...

We study the long time asymptotics of probability density functions (pdfs) of Lévy flights in confining potentials that originate from inhomogeneities of the environment in which the flights take place. To this end we employ two model patterns of dynamical behavior: Langevin-driven and...

Spot option prices, forwards and options on forwards relevant for the commodity markets are computed when the underlying process S is modelled as an exponential of a process xi with memory as, e.g., a Volterra equation driven by a Levy process. Moreover, the interest rate and a risk premium rho...

Using a one parameter free energy model for surfactants, we numerically study the effects of hydrodynamics in the microemulsion and lamellar phases. Our results show that the dynamical correlation function has temporal oscillations for a range of hydrodynamical coupling strengths in the...

We analyze the dynamics of a forecasting game that exhibits the phenomenon of information cascades. Each agent aims at correctly predicting a binary variable and he/she can either look for independent information or herd on the choice of others. We show that dynamics can be analytically...

In this article, we propose an approach, based on the variation-of-constants formula, for the numerical discretisation over long-time intervals of several stochastic oscillators. Additive and multiplicative noises are treated separately. The proposed schemes permit the use of large step sizes in...
