Abstract

Detailed study of multifractal characteristics of the financial time series of asset values and of its returns is performed using a collection of the high frequency Deutsche Aktienindex data. The tail index (α\alpha), the Renyi exponents based on the box counting algorithm for the graph (dqd_q) and the generalized Hurst exponents (HqH_q) are computed in parallel for short and daily return times. The results indicate a more complicated nature of the stock market dynamics than just consistent multifractal.
