The dynamical emergence (and subsequent intermittent breakdown) of collective behavior in complex systems is described as a non-Poisson renewal process, characterized by a waiting-time distribution density $\psi (\tau)$ for the time…
The coupling complexity index is an information measure introduced within the framework of ordinal symbolic dynamics. This index is used to characterize the complexity of the relationship between dynamical system components. In this work,…
Complexity matching characterizes the role of information in interactions between systems and can be traced back to the 1957 Introduction to Cybernetics by Ross Ashby. We argue that complexity can be expressed in terms of crucial events,…
Biological systems (among others) may respond to a large variety of distinct external stimuli, or signals. These perturbations will generally be presented to the system not singly, but in various combinations, so that a proper understanding…
We study the transport of information between two complex networks with similar properties. Both networks generate non-Poisson renewal fluctuations with a power-law spectrum 1/f^(3-\mu), the case \mu= 2 corresponding to ideal 1/f-noise. We…
The intensity matching approach for tractable performance evaluation and optimization of cellular networks is introduced. It assumes that the base stations are modeled as points of a Poisson point process and leverages stochastic geometry…
Complex systems performing spiking dynamics are widespread in Nature. They cover from earthquakes, to neurons, variable stars, social networks, or stock markets. Understanding and characterizing their dynamics is relevant in order to detect…
Inverse power law distributions are generally interpreted as a manifestation of complexity, and waiting time distributions with power index \mu < 2 reflect the occurrence of ergodicity breaking renewal events. In this Letter we show how to…
Intensity estimation for Poisson processes is a classical problem and has been extensively studied over the past few decades. Practical observations, however, often contain compositional noise, i.e. a nonlinear shift along the time axis,…
The crucial aspect of this demonstration is the discovery of renewal events, hidden in the computed dynamics of a multifractal metronome, which enables the replacement of the phenomenon of strong anticipation with a time delayed…
Biological information processing networks consist of many components, which are coupled by an even larger number of complex multivariate interactions. However, analyses of data sets from fields as diverse as neuroscience, molecular…
It is a challenge to manage complex systems efficiently without confronting NP-hard problems. To address the situation we suggest to use self-organization processes of prime integer relations for information processing. Self-organization…
We define the complexity of a continuous-time linear system to be the minimum number of bits required to describe its forward increments to a desired level of fidelity, and compute this quantity using the rate distortion function of a…
In recent studies, new measures of complexity for nonlinear systems have been proposed based on probabilistic grounds, as the LMC measure (Phys. Lett. A {\bf 209} (1995) 321) or the SDL measure (Phys. Rev. E {\bf 59} (1999) 2). All these…
We have considered the complexity and asymptotic stability in the process of biochemical substance exchange in a coupled ring of cells. We have used coupled maps to model this process. It includes the coupling parameter, cell affinity and…
Quantifying the complexity of systems consisting of many interacting parts has been an important challenge in the field of complex systems in both abstract and applied contexts. One approach, the complexity profile, is a measure of the…
Complex systems are found in most branches of science. It is still argued how to best quantify their complexity and to what end. One prominent measure of complexity (the statistical complexity) has an operational meaning in terms of the…
We study the dynamics of a system composed of interacting units each with a complex internal structure comprising many subunits. We consider the case in which each subunit grows in a multiplicative manner. We propose a model for such…
We consider an electron magnetically interacting with a spin-1/2 impurity, embedded in an external environment whose noisy term acts only on the impurity's spin, and we find expressions for the electron transmission and reflection…
We investigate the relationship between complexity, information transfer and the emergence of collective behaviors, such as synchronization and nontrivial collective behavior, in a network of globally coupled chaotic maps as a simple model…
