On anomalous distributions in intra-day financial time series and non-extensive statistical mechanics

In this paper, one studies the distribution of log-returns (tick-by-tick) in the Lisbon stock market and shows that it is well adjusted by the solution of the equation, dpxd|x|=-βq′pxq′-(βq-βq′)pxq, which corresponds to a generalisation of the differential equation which has as solution the power-laws that optimise the entropic form Sq=-k1-∫pxqdx1-q, base of present non-extensive statistical mechanics.
