“…Moreover, the choice of the parameter p, with which we defined the weights w 11 and w 12 in 3, tunes the degree of intermittency of the final result u n (x) , as it regulates how uneven the partition of the amount E is from the (n − 1)-th to the n-th generation: p = 1 2 reproduces Kolmogorov's non-intermittent K41 theory 119 , while p → 0 and p → 1 gives rise to more and more intermittent distributions, with a mirror symmetry between p ∈ 0, 1 2 and p ∈ 1 2 , 1 . Last, but not least, the p-model distribution shows a well known multi-fractal singularity spectrum 122,124,125 . All those reasons render the p-model series a suitable test bed for multiscale analysis techniques, as EMD and IF, because the ground truth is an intermittent signal of perfectly known characteristics, and the extent to which those are retrieved by the various analysis tools clearly emerges.…”
