Self-Similarity of Fluctuations in Random Multiplicative Processes

Abstract
A mapping of the unit interval of all realizations of the disorder for a random multiplicative process allows us to show that (a) the flucatuations due to different realizations of the disorder are characterized by a multifractal spectrum and (b) the fluctuations in space for a given realization of the disorder do not possess properties of self-similarity. These results have relevant implications for various physical problems with a multiplicative structure.
