From a physical/dynamical system perspective, the potential well represents the proportional mass of points that escape the neighbourhood of a given point. In the last 20 years, several works have shown the importance of this quantity to obtain precise approximations for several recurrence time distributions in mixing stochastic processes and dynamical systems. Besides providing a review of the different scaling factors used in the literature in recurrence times, the present work contributes two new results: (1) For ϕ-mixing and ψ-mixing processes, we give a new exponential approximation for hitting and return times using the potential well as the scaling parameter. The error terms are explicit and sharp. (2) We analyse the uniform positivity of the potential well. Our results apply to processes on countable alphabets and do not assume a complete grammar.

Consider a finite irreducible aperiodic Markov chain with nearly-completely decomposable stochastic matrix: i.e. a Markov chain for which the states can be grouped into disjoint aggregates, in such a way that the probabilities of transition between states of the same aggregate are large compared to the probabilities of transition between states belonging to different aggregates. Let Ω be a subset of one of the aggregates. Second-order approximations are determined for the first and second moments of the time to reach Ω and the return time to Ω.

In various fields, such as teletraffic and economics, measured time series have been reported to adhere to multifractal scaling. Classical cascading measures possess multifractal scaling, but their increments form a nonstationary process. To overcome this problem, we introduce a construction of random multifractal measures based on iterative multiplication of stationary stochastic processes, a special form of T-martingales. We study the ℒ2-convergence, nondegeneracy, and continuity of the limit process. Establishing a power law for its moments, we obtain a formula for the multifractal spectrum and hint at how to prove the full formalism.
