Ordering at arbitrarily high temperature - entropic order - has been argued to take place in a class of generalized Ising models parameterised by a real interaction parameter $p$ when $p\ge 1$. We give a rigorous proof of this conjecture.…
Measure-theoretic slow entropy is a more refined invariant than the classical measure-theoretic entropy to characterize the complexity of dynamical systems with subexponential growth rates of distinguishable orbit types. In this paper we…
We review models of compositional growth, which were introduced to explain the growth statistics of various quantities ranging from firm sizes to GDP. In these models, entities are decomposed into units that grow independently. Thus, the…
Intrinsic computation refers to how dynamical systems store, structure, and transform historical and spatial information. By graphing a measure of structural complexity against a measure of randomness, complexity-entropy diagrams display…
In order to apply thermodynamics to systems in which entropy is not extensive, it has become customary to define generalized entropies. While this approach has been effective, it is not the only possible approach. We suggest that some…
The volume of phase space may grow super-exponentially ("explosively") with the number of degrees of freedom for certain types of complex systems such as those encountered in biology and neuroscience, where components interact and create…
Periodic orbits are fundamental to understand the dynamics of nonlinear systems. In this work, we focus on two aspects of interest regarding periodic orbits, in the context of a dissipative mapping, derived from a prototype model of a…
The entropy of the random walk on the discrete contable group could be used for comparison of the system of the generators. Fundamental inequality between growth, entropy and escape gives the possibility to define "the best" system of the…
Entropy can signify different things: For instance, heat transfer in thermodynamics or a measure of information in data analysis. Many entropies have been introduced and it can be difficult to ascertain their different importance and…
The theoretical and numerical understanding of the key concept of topological entropy is an important problem in dynamical systems. Most studies have been carried out on maps (discrete-time systems). We analyse a scenario of global changes…
We address in this paper how tightly the composability nature of systems: $S_{A+B} =\Omega (S_A, S_B)$ constrains definition of generalized entropies and investigate explicitly the composability in some ansatz of the entropy form.
The living organism is considered as an open system, whereas Prigogine's approach to the thermodynamics of such systems is used. The approach allows one to formulate the law of individual growth and development (ontogenesis) of the living…
Entropy is arguably one of the most powerful concepts to understand the world, from the behavior of molecules to the expansion of the universe, from how life emerges to how hybrid complex systems like cities come into being and continue…
The need for improved functionalities is driving the search for more complicated multi-component materials. Despite the factorially increasing composition space, ordered compounds with 4 or more species are rare. Here, we unveil the…
This article presents a general description of dynamical systems using the language of enriched functors and enriched natural transformations. This framework is essential to establish the equivalence of three descriptions of dynamics -- a…
Coarse geometry studies metric spaces on the large scale. The recently introduced notion of coarse entropy is a tool to study dynamics from the coarse point of view. We prove that all isometries of a given metric space have the same coarse…
We introduce an elementary class of linearly ordered groups, called growth order groups, encompassing certain groups under composition of formal series (e.g. transseries) as well as certain groups $\mathcal{G}_{\mathcal{M}}$ of infinitely…
Many current challenges involve understanding the complex dynamical interplay between the constituents of systems. Typically, the number of such constituents is high, but only limited data sources on them are available. Conventional…
Like all natural systems, great societies and their cultures emerge by a growth process from their environments, developing, organized, and behaving as wholes with their internal designs linked with their external worlds. So the general…
In statistical physics any given system can be either at an equilibrium or away from it. Networks are not an exception. Most network models can be classified as either equilibrium or growing. Here we show that under certain conditions there…
