Cover Story: Here, we motivate a geometric perspective of the concept of information flow between components of a complex dynamical system. The most popular methods in this area are probabilistic in nature, including the Nobel-prize-winning work on Granger causality, and also the recently highly popular transfer entropy. Beyond conceptual advancement, a geometric description of causality further allows for new and efficient computational methods of causality inference. In this direction, we introduce a new measure of causal inference based on contrasting fractal correlation dimensions, conditionally applied to compete for explanations of future forecasts. In this setting, we believe our geometric interpretation of information flow has both computational efficiency and theoretical interpretation reasons to contribute positively to many fields of science.

Due to the complexity and variability of underwater acoustic channels, ship-radiated noise (SRN) detected using the passive sonar is prone to be distorted. The entropy-based feature extraction method can improve this situation, to some extent. Howeve...

  • Santos B. Yuste

20 April 2020

New proposals for the equation of state of four- and five-dimensional hard-hypersphere mixtures in terms of the equation of state of the corresponding monocomponent hard-hypersphere fluid are introduced. Such proposals (which are constructed in such...

In this note, we introduce excess strategic entropy—an entropy-based measure of complexity of the strategy. It measures complexity and predictability of the (mixed) strategy of a player. We show and discuss properties of this measure and its po...

A non-Hermitian operator H defined in a Hilbert space with inner product ⟨ · | · ⟩ may serve as the Hamiltonian for a unitary quantum system if it is η -pseudo-Hermitian for a metric operator (positive-definit...

Proteins are characterized by their structures and functions, and these two fundamental aspects of proteins are assumed to be related. To model such a relationship, a single representation to model both protein structure and function would be conveni...

Cross-domain recommendation is a promising solution in recommendation systems by using relatively rich information from the source domain to improve the recommendation accuracy of the target domain. Most of the existing methods consider the rating in...

A modification of the classic logistic map is proposed, using fuzzy triangular numbers. The resulting map is analysed through its Lyapunov exponent (LE) and bifurcation diagrams. It shows higher complexity compared to the classic logistic map and sho...
