title: Exact moment scaling from multiplicative noise.
abstract: For a general class of diffusion processes with multiplicative noise, describing a variety of physical as well as financial phenomena, mostly typical of complex systems, we obtain the analytical solution for the moments at all times. We allow for a nontrivial time dependence of the microscopic dynamics and we analytically characterize the process evolution, possibly toward a stationary state, and the direct relationship existing between the drift and diffusion coefficients and the time scaling of the moments.
