Multifractal critical phenomena with infinite-temperature critical point and with complex coexistence of the infinite and finite temperature critical points are considered and it is shown that strange attractors generated by cascades of period-doubling bifurcations (Feigenbaum scenario) as well...

Dynamical equations for a classical spin interacting with the surrounding medium are derived by means of the formalism of the oscillator-bath environment. The bilinear-coupling treatment of Jayannavar (Z. Phys. B <Emphasis Type="Bold">82, 153 (1991)) is extended to couplings that depend arbitrarily on the spin...</emphasis>

Physicists have recently begun doing research in finance, and even though this movement is less than five years old, interesting and useful contributions have already emerged. This article reviews these developments in four areas, including empirical statistical properties of prices,...
