Until very recently, the pervasive existence of models exhibiting well-defined backward dynamics but ill-defined forward dynamics in economics and finance has apparently posed no serious obstacles to the analysis of their dynamics and stability, despite the problems that may arise from possible...

In this work, we investigate the dynamics of electromagnetic precursors, recorded prior to significant earthquakes in Greece. The analysis of these signals is performed using Fisher information, which is a powerful tool for investigating complex and non-stationary signals. Our results point to a...

Testing the assumption of independence between variables is a crucial aspect of spatial data analysis. However, the literature is limited and somewhat confusing. To our knowledge, we can mention only the bivariate generalization of Moran’s statistic. This test suffers from several...

Symbolic sequences generated by symbolic dynamics of a dynamical system belong to a special class of language in which any admissible word is factorisable as well as prolongable. From a complete genome sequence of an organism, one may also define a factorizable language. A factorizable language...

Time-dependent pattern entropy is a method that reduces variations to binary symbolic dynamics and considers the pattern of symbols in a sliding temporal window. We use this method to analyze the instability of daily variations in foreign exchange rates, in particular, the dollar–yen rate. The...

Molecular transport in phase space is crucial for chemical reactions because it defines how pre-reactive molecular configurations are found during the time evolution of the system. Using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulated atomistic trajectories we test the assumption of the normal diffusion in...

We demonstrate that the methods of signal (time series) analysis developed in nonlinear and symbolic dynamics when applied to financial data in Econophysics give new possibilities of interpretation of those data. Analogies with interpretation of biosignals in Medical Physics may be observed....

In this paper, the symbolic dynamics analysis was used to analyze the complexity of normal heartbeat signal (NSR), Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) signals. By calculating the information entropy value of symbolic sequences, the complexities were quantified. Based...
