We study the nature of fluctuations in variety of price indices involving companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The fluctuations at multiple scales are extracted through the use of wavelets belonging to Daubechies basis. The fact that these basis sets satisfy vanishing moments...

A method based on wavelet transform and genetic programming is proposed for characterizing and modeling variations at multiple scales in non-stationary time series. The cyclic variations, extracted by wavelets and smoothened by cubic splines, are well captured by genetic programming in the form...

We apply a recently developed wavelet based approach to characterize the correlation and scaling properties of non-stationary financial time series. This approach is local in nature and it makes use of wavelets from the Daubechies family for detrending purpose. The built-in variable windows in...

We make use of wavelet transform to study the multi-scale, self-similar behavior and deviations thereof, in the stock prices of large companies, belonging to different economic sectors. The stock market returns exhibit multi-fractal characteristics, with some of the companies showing deviations...

Following Hwa and Wu [R.C. Hwa, Y. Wu, Phys. Rev. C 60 (1999) 0544904], we characterize the fluctuation behavior of the hadron density produced during quark-hadron phase transition, as modeled by a 2D Ising model. Using a recently developed discrete wavelet based approach, the scaling behavior...

We illustrate the efficacy of a discrete wavelet based approach to characterize fluctuations in non-stationary time series. The present approach complements the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-DFA) method and is quite accurate for small size data sets. As compared to polynomial...

Financial markets are well known examples of multi-fractal complex systems that have garnered much interest in their characterization through complex network theory. The recent studies have used correlation based distance metrics for defining and analyzing financial networks. In this work the...

This paper presents energy and exergy assessments of a new integrated system with different psychrometric processes for HVAC&R applications. The mass, energy, entropy and exergy balance equations for all system components and processes are developed for analysis and performance assessment...

In this paper, Glowworm swarm optimisation (GSO) is proposed to solve nonlinear fixed charge transportation problem (NLFCTP) in a single stage supply chain network. In a fixed charge transportation problem, fixed cost is incurred for every route, along with the variable cost that is proportional...
