Cover Story: Based on five principles adopted from integrated information theory—realization, composition, information, integration, and exclusion—we propose a comprehensive formalism for actual causation that provides a causal account of all causal links within a state transition. Our framework considers all counterfactual states, rather than a single contingency, which makes it possible to quantify the strength of causal links. Moreover, this allows for causal composition, in the sense that high-order occurrences can have their own causes and effects, as long as they are irreducible. The proposed formalism is applicable to a vast range of physical systems, such as (artificial) neural networks, regardless of whether they are deterministic or probabilistic, have binary or multivalued variables, or of feedforward or recurrent architectures.

The Tsallis entropy is a useful one-parameter generalization to the standard von Neumann entropy in quantum information theory. In this work, we study the variance of the Tsallis entropy of bipartite quantum systems in a random pure state. The main r...

In this paper, we examine Khinchin’s entropy for two weakly nonlinear systems of oscillators. We study a system of coupled Duffing oscillators and a set of Henon–Heiles oscillators. It is shown that the general method of deriving the Khin...

Machine learning techniques have shown superior predictive power, among which Bayesian network classifiers (BNCs) have remained of great interest due to its capacity to demonstrate complex dependence relationships. Most traditional BNCs tend to build...

The stochastic nonlinear model based on Itô diffusion is proposed as a mathematical model for price dynamics of financial markets. We study this model with relation to concrete stylised facts about financial markets. We investigate the behavior...

A matrix information-geometric method was developed to detect the change-points of rigid body motions. Note that the set of all rigid body motions is the special Euclidean group S E ( 3 ) , so the Riemannian mean based on the Lie group structu...

One of the most relevant features of musical pieces is the selection and utilization of musical elements by composers. For connecting the musical properties of a melodic line as a whole with those of its constituent elements, we propose a representat...

In this paper, inspired by a newly proposed two-dimensional nonlinear oscillator with an infinite number of coexisting attractors, a modified nonlinear oscillator is proposed. The original system has an exciting feature of having layer–layer co...
