Fractional calculus and continuous-time finance II: the waiting-time distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
We complement the theory of tick-by-tick dynamics of financial markets based on a Continuous-Time Random Walk (CTRW) model recently proposed by Scalas et al [4], and we point out its consistency with the behaviour observed in the waiting-time distribution for BUND future prices traded at LIFFE, London.

A Queuing Model for Stochastic Location-inventory Problem with Waiting Cost Considerations
This paper presents a three-level supply chain model which includes single supplier, several distribution centers and sets of retailers. For this purpose, by adopting the queuing approach, a mixed nonlinear integer programming model is formulated. The proposed model follows minimizing the total cost of the system by determining: 1) the number and location of distribution centers between candida...
متن کاملTempered fractional calculus
Fractional derivatives and integrals are convolutions with a power law. Multiplying by an exponential factor leads to tempered fractional derivatives and integrals. Tempered fractional diffusion equations, where the usual second derivative in space is replaced by a tempered fractional derivative, govern the limits of random walk models with an exponentially tempered power law jump distribution....
متن کاملContinuous time random walk, Mittag-Leffler waiting time and fractional diffusion: mathematical aspects
Abstract We show the asymptotic long-time equivalence of a generic power law waiting time distribution to the Mittag-Leffler waiting time distribution, characteristic for a time fractional continuous time random walk. This asymptotic equivalence is effected by a combination of “rescaling” time and “respeeding” the relevant renewal process followed by a passage to a limit for which we need a sui...

Keywords: Fractional calculus Anomalous diffusion Continuous time random walk Central limit theory Operator stable law a b s t r a c t In a continuous time random walk (CTRW), a random waiting time precedes each random jump. The CTRW is coupled if the waiting time and the subsequent jump are dependent random variables. The CTRW is used in physics to model diffusing particles. Its scaling limit ...
متن کاملCoupled continuous time random walks in finance
Continuous time random walks (CTRWs) are used in physics to model anomalous diffusion, by incorporating a random waiting time between particle jumps. In finance, the particle jumps are log-returns and the waiting times measure delay between transactions. These two random variables (log-return and waiting time) are typically not independent. For these coupled CTRW models, we can now compute the ...
