Understanding the earthquake (EQ) preparation process in terms of precursory electromagnetic (EM) emissions has been an evolving field of multi-disciplinary research. EM emissions in a wide frequency spectrum ranging from kHz to MHz are produced by opening cracks, which can be considered as...

The universal character of the dynamics of various extreme phenomena is an outstanding scientific challenge. We show that X-ray flux and Dst time series during powerful solar flares and intense magnetic storms, respectively, obey a nonextensive energy distribution function for earthquake...

The field of study of complex systems considers that the dynamics of complex systems are founded on universal principles that may be used to describe a great variety of scientific and technological approaches of different types of natural, artificial, and social systems. Several authors have...

We calculate the time-dependent Shannon (Sx and Sp) entropy and Fisher (Fx and Fp) information of three log-periodic oscillators. We obtain a general expression for Sx,p and Fx,p in the state n=0 in terms of ρ, a c-number quantity satisfying a nonlinear differential equation. For two out of...

Escort distributions are a well established but (for physicists) a relatively new concept that is rapidly gaining wide acceptance in world. In this work we wish to revisit the concept within the strictures of the celebrated semiclassical Husimi distributions (HDs) and thereby investigate the...

We show how macroeconomic dynamics can be derived from asymmetric information. As an illustration of the utility of this approach we derive the equilibrium density, non-equilibrium densities and the equation of motion for the response to a demand shock for productivity in a simple economy. Novel...

As a part of the so-called Wheeler program, we present an information theoretic treatment for phase space distributions.

By recourse to information-theory tools, we study aspects of the dynamics of the interaction between a single trapped ion with a laser field. Despite its simplicity the model we use exhibits a broad range of intricate physical effects that are clearly detected by information quantifiers like...

It is proved that the only additive and isotropic information measure that can depend on the probability distribution and also on its first derivative is a linear combination of the Boltzmann–Gibbs–Shannon and Fisher information measures. Power-law equilibrium distributions are found as a...

By recourse to (i) the Hellmann–Feynman theorem and (ii) the virial one, the information-optimizing principle based on Fisher’s information measure uncovers a Legendre-transform structure associated with Schrödinger’s equation, in close analogy with the structure that lies behind the...
