Abstract

In this talk I will give a broad overview of the state of the art of our contribution to Econophysics up to now. In particular, I will discuss the two main elements that define the complexity of financial time series: the first is multifractality [1], which is associated to the behaviour of each single variable and the way it scales in time; the second is the structure of dependency between time series, associated with the collective behaviour of the whole set of variables [2,3]. For the first analysis I will show results on the application of the Generalized Hurst exponent tool and the Empirical Mode Decomposition method [4,5] and for the second application of network-filtered theoretic tools to different sets of financial market data sets [6,7]. In particular I will introduce a new algorithm, the TMFG (Triangulated Maximally Filtered Graph), that is a scalable and adaptable methodology to efficiently extract a planar filtering graph [8].
