Sixth Homework Set Answers

6. (a) The coarse Hölder exponents are
Log(.8)/Log(.2) ≈ 0.139 , Log(.6)/Log(.4) ≈ 0.557, and Log(.8)/Log(.4) ≈ 0.244
Not all these are equal, so this generator is multifractal.
(b) To find the Trading Time increments, first solve this equation for D.
.8D + .6D + .8D = 1
The solution is D ≈ 3.8.
Then the Trading Time increments are
dT1 = .83.8 ≈ 0.428   dT2 = .63.8 ≈ 0.144   dT2 = .83.8 ≈ 0.428
(c) Here are the generators, Price-Clock Time in blue, Price-Trading Time in red.
