Abstract

Multifractal critical phenomena with infinite-temperature critical point and with complex coexistence of the infinite and finite temperature critical points are considered and it is shown that strange attractors generated by cascades of period-doubling bifurcations (Feigenbaum scenario) as well as fields of velocity differences in fluid turbulence belong to the former subclass of the multifractal critical phenomena, while the real traffic processes and real currency exchange processes belong to the last (complex) subclass of the multifractal critical phenomena. Data obtained by different authors are used for this purpose.
