Efficiency and multifractality analysis of CSI 300 based on multifractal detrending moving average algorithm

We apply the multifractal detrending moving average (MFDMA) to investigate and compare the efficiency and multifractality of 5-min high-frequency China Securities Index 300 (CSI 300). The results show that the CSI 300 market becomes closer to weak-form efficiency after the introduction of CSI 300 future. We find that the CSI 300 is featured by multifractality and there are less complexity and risk after the CSI 300 index future was introduced. With the shuffling, surrogating and removing extreme values procedures, we unveil that extreme events and fat-distribution are the main origin of multifractality. Besides, we discuss the knotting phenomena in multifractality, and find that the scaling range and the irregular fluctuations for large scales in the _Fq(s)$F_q\left(s\right)$ vs s$s$ plot can cause a knot.     

A backward parabolic equation with a time-dependent coefficient: Regularization and error estimates

We consider the problem of determining the temperature u(x,t)$u(x,t)$, for (x,t)∈[0,π]×[0,T)$(x,t)\in [0,\pi ]\times [0,T)$ in the parabolic equation with a time-dependent coefficient. This problem is severely ill-posed, i.e., the solution (if it exists) does not depend continuously on the given data. In this paper, we use a modified method for regularizing the problem and derive an optimal stability estimation. A numerical experiment is presented for illustrating the estimate.

Anticyanobacterial phenolic constituents from the aerial parts of Eupatorium fortunei Turcz

Four thymol derivatives and two phenolic compounds were isolated from the aerial parts of Eupatorium fortunei. The new structures were elucidated to be 7,8,9-trihydroxythymol (1), and 8,10-didehydro-7,9-dihydroxythymol (2) by means of MS and NMR analysis. The known compounds were identified as 8,9,10-trihydroxythymol (3), 10-acetoxy-8,9-dihydroxythymol (4), o-coumaric acid (5) and 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)benzaldehyde (6). Compound 3 showed strongest inhibitory effect on the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa in comparison with CuSO₄.     

Second-order time correlations within a polariton Bose-Einstein condensate in a CdTe microcavity

Second-order time correlations of polaritons have been measured across the condensation threshold in a CdTe microcavity. The onset of Bose-Einstein condensation is marked by the disappearance of photon bunching, demonstrating the transition from a thermal-like state to a coherent state. Coherence is, however, degraded with increasing polariton density, most probably as a result of self-interaction within the condensate and scatterings with noncondensed excitons and polaritons. Such behavior clearly differentiates polariton Bose condensation from photon lasing.
