Negative differential conductivity in superlattices leads to the growth of inevitable spatial fluctuations. The spatially homogeneous electron distribution then becomes unstable, and a propagating electron accumulation-layer domain is formed. It is shown that envelopes of the wave functions are...

This paper introduces a multiscale multifractal diffusion entropy analysis (MMDEA) method to analyze long-range correlation then applies this method to stock index series. The method combines the techniques of diffusion process and Rényi entropy to focus on the scaling behaviors of stock index...

Multiscale entropy (MSE) is an effective method to measure the complexity of signals from complex systems, which has been applied to various fields successfully. However, MSE may yield an inaccurate estimate of entropy and induce undefined entropy as the coarse-graining procedure reduces the...

Multifractal behavior is found in traffic speed time series and mostly measured around the concept of Legendre singularity spectrum. As one of the multifractal spectra, which is the probability distribution of roughness grain exponent, Legendre spectrum is structurally blind to subtle features...

In this paper, the long-range cross-correlation of Chinese stock indices is systematically studied. The multifractal detrended cross-correlation analysis (MF-DXA) appears to be one of the most effective methods in detecting long-range cross-correlation of two non-stationary variables. The...

We use multiscale detrended fluctuation analysis (MSDFA) and multiscale detrended cross-correlation analysis (MSDCCA) to investigate auto-correlation (AC) and cross-correlation (CC) in the US and Chinese stock markets during 1997–2012. The results show that US and Chinese stock indices differ...

The Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) and its extensions (MF-DFA) have been used extensively to determine possible long-range correlations in self-affine signals. However, recent studies have reported the susceptibility of DFA to trends which give rise to spurious crossovers and prevent...

Time irreversibility is a fundamental property of many time series. We apply the multiscale entropy (MSE) and multiscale time irreversibility (MSTI) to analyze the financial time series, and succeed to classify the financial markets. Interestingly, both methods have nearly the same...

In this paper, we applied multifractal modeling techniques to analyze the traffic data collected from the Beijing Yuquanying. The results indicated that multifractal characteristics obviously exist in the traffic system; the degree of fractality of these traffic data tends to increase as the...

In this article, we investigate the hidden cross-correlation structures in Chinese stock markets and US stock markets by performing PCSE combined with PCA approach. It is suggested that PCSE can provide a more faithful and more interpretable description of the dynamic mechanism between time...
