Until very recently, the pervasive existence of models exhibiting well-defined backward dynamics but ill-defined forward dynamics in economics and finance has apparently posed no serious obstacles to the analysis of their dynamics and stability, despite the problems that may arise from possible...

We study the one-dimensional logistic map with parametric perturbation. Using a small periodic function as the perturbation, new attractors may appear. Beside these new attractors, complex attractors exist and are responsible for transients in many trajectories. We observe that each one of these...

The preponderance of the linear approach in the stock market modeling is the result of the Frisch-Slutsky paradigm which implies that the market can only converge to an equilibrium point or diverge, according to a monotonic or oscillatory trajectory. Moreover, this description of reality is...

The formation of regions through spatial self-organization is a key issue in spatial economics. The standard approach to the modelling of space in regional science has been to assume that space can be modelled as a one-dimensional system, often locations arrayed on a circle. This paper studies...

We propose a conjecture for the exact expression of the unweighted dynamical zeta function for a family of birational transformations of two variables, depending on two parameters. This conjectured function is a simple rational expression with integer coefficients. This yields an algebraic value...

We consider a family of birational transformations of two variables, depending on one parameter, for which simple rational expressions with integer coefficients, for the exact expression of the dynamical zeta function, have been conjectured. Moreover, an equality between the (asymptotic of the)...

New methods to test whether a time series is i.i.d. are proposed in a recent series of papers (Matilla-García [2007], Matilla-García and Marín [2008], Matilla-García and Marín [2009], and Matilla-García et al. [2010]). The main idea is to map m-histories of a time series onto elements of...
