Entropic Nonextensivity as a Measure of Time Series Complexity
Information entropy is applied to the analysis of time series generated by dynamical systems. Complexity of a temporal or spatio-temporal signal is defined as the difference between the sum of entropies of the local linear regions of the trajectory manifold, and the entropy of the globally linearized manifold. When the entropies are Tsallis entropies the complexity is characterized by the value...
متن کاملComplexity Through Nonextensivity
The problem of defining and studying complexity of a time series has interested people for years. In the context of dynamical systems, Grassberger has suggested that a slow approach of the entropy to its extensive asymptotic limit is a sign of complexity. We investigate this idea further by information theoretic and statistical mechanics techniques and show that these arguments can be made prec...
متن کاملNonadditive statistical measure of complexity and values of the entropic index q
A two-parameter family of statistical measures of complexity are introduced based on the Tsallis-type nonadditive entropies. This provides a unified framework for the study of the recently proposed various measures of complexity as well as for the discussion of a whole new class of measures. As a special case, a generalization of the measure proposed by Landsberg and his co-workers based on the...
متن کاملApproach of Complexity in Nature: Entropic Nonuniqueness
Boltzmann introduced in the 1870s a logarithmic measure for the connection between the thermodynamical entropy and the probabilities of the microscopic configurations of the system. His celebrated entropic functional for classical systems was then extended by Gibbs to the entire phase space of a many-body system and by von Neumann in order to cover quantum systems, as well. Finally, it was used...
متن کاملA measure of software complexity
In recounting the e6pietls-reas-ens---ereK-£-HSC-S f-Gfour tr-a-ditional problems in developing and maintaining computer software, many authorities have mentioned complexity (e.g., References 2, 8, 15). The complexity pointed to sometimes is the inherent complexity of the jobs the computer is to do; sometimes it is the complexity of the systems or programs that direct the computer to do the job...
