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 Tsallis entropy indexed by q is discussed in detail and its behavior is illustrated using the logistic map. The value of the entropic index, q, with which the maximum of the measure of complexity is located at the edge of chaos, is calculated.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-02-07T17:36:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "entropic index", "nonadditive statistical measure", "complexity", "tsallis-type nonadditive entropies", "special case" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
