Ab Initio Mkt Files

This directory contains the source code used to generate data for
the figures in a paper entitled, "Ab initio simulation of market dynamics"
by Dr R. S. Farr. The paper is available from the physics pre-print archive
at this web address:

   https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.18756

The code is documented in that paper, which consists of a description of 
5 models, called "M1" to "M5". The source code for each of these models
(in the C programming language) is contained in the following folders:

CODE_HYPER_M1
CODE_TIMEPREF_M2
CODE_INFL_EXPECT_M3
CODE_INPUT_OUTPUT_M4
ODE_SWITCH_M5

Each folder contains one or more files starting with "M", which includes the
main() function, and includes (via "#include" statements) other source 
files in the same folder.

A typical compile function (using in this case the gnu compiler collection, 
"gcc"), executed from the relevant folder would therefore
be, for the different models:

gcc M1_hyperinflation_v1.c -o M1_hyperinflation_v1 -lm
gcc M1_market_v1.c -o M1_market_v1 -lm
gcc M1_order_book_v1.c -o M1_order_book_v1 -lm

gcc M2_fluctuations_v1.c -o M2_fluctuations_v1 -lm
gcc M2_plot_lognormal.c -o M2_plot_lognormal -lm
gcc M2_timepref_v1.c -o M2_timepref_v1 -lm

gcc M3_infl_expect_v1.c -o M3_infl_expect_v1 -lm

gcc M4_io_v1.c -o M4_io_v1 -lm

gcc M5_switch_v1.c -o M5_switch_v1 -lm
