Cover Story: The time–space–fractional diffusion equation constitutes a natural and far-reaching extension of the popular class of exponential market models. Among other things, it governs the log-normal and the spectrally negative Lévy-stable models for asset returns, and covers several non-trivial phenomena such as price jumps, memory, and subtle volatility patterns.
