Multifractal

Sample's size effect

The divergence of the moments is a propriety which can be observed for the singularities . This kind of phase transition can not be detected if the sample size of the studied field is not enough large. For a sample of finite size, chosen from a population characterized by a co-dimension function , there exists a maximal theoretical observable singularity . Since the co-dimension is bounded, the well be linear, according to Legendre transform the statistical moment function becomes:

K(q) = \gamma_{s}(q-q_s) + K(q_s) \quad for \quad q >q_s

We notice that the linear shape of function corresponds to the two different shape of ( for and ).
