relationship between logFxy(q) and logs
suggests that, for both financial price model
and real markets, the relationships of each pair
returns are power-law cross-correlated, such
as SSE is power-law cross-correlated with HSI.
The power-law cross-correlation relationship
indicates that a large increment of price
changes in one market may be more likely to
be followed by a large increment of price
changes in the other geographically or
temporally correlated market.
The specific calculation results of hxy(q) for
various q and n are presented in Table 1. It is
seen that hxy(q) is numerically decreasing with
q increasing for n = 1,2,3, respectively. The
cross-correlations of three pair returns for the
financial model are very similar to those for
real market data pairs of SSE and HSI, SPD and
PAB. In Fig. 5(a), we show the fluctuation
behaviors of the cross-correlation exponents
hxy(q) for the polynomial order n = 3 of all the
simulated return pairs and real data. If
exponent hxy(q) is a constant, the market is
monofractal, otherwise it is multifractal. These
plots exhibit that the cross-correlation
relationships are nonlinear and multifractal,
since there are dissimilar exponents hxy for
different values of q, i.e. there are different
power-law cross-correlations. To make a
comparison, the generalized Hurst exponent
