We analysed the imaginary part of frequency dependent dielectric constant ε″(ω) of ethanol and cyclo-octanol, at temperatures below the crystallization. We fitted the measured ε″(ω) to the Cole–Davison function and found that the width parameter decreased as temperature decreased. We...

This article examines why some entrepreneurial firms succeed while others do not. The focal explanation is top management teams, including several studies that address when and how top management teams are likely to influence entrepreneurial firm performance. There are several insights. First,...

This paper outlines a synthesis of ecological economics with econophysics and other complexity approaches to economics. Arguably, the resulting “ecological econophysics” will be scientifically sounder than mainstream economics and much better suited to addressing a major challenge of our...

We examine both the dynamical and the multifractal properties at the chaos threshold of logistic maps with general nonlinearity z1. First we determine analytically the sensitivity to initial conditions ξt. Then we consider a renormalization group operation on the partition function Z of the...

The critical boundaries separating ordered from chaotic behavior in randomly wired S-state networks are calculated. These networks are a natural generalization of random Boolean net and are proposed as an extended approach to genetic regulatory systems, sets of cells in different states or...

The aim of the article is to show that organization’s potential can be differently described as only by results. The proposals concern using both the category of balance or unbalance and the concept of the chaos edge for describing organization’s potential. The paper takes a closer look at...

In the last two decades, the nonextensive statistics proposed by Tsallis have been extensively discussed in terms of the Tsallis entropy, which is a generalization of the Boltzmann–Gibbs–Shannon entropy. Within the nonextensive framework, many kinds of generalizations have been made. Suyari...

Stochastic bistable systems whose stationary distributions belong to the q-exponential family are investigated using two approaches: (i) the Langevin model subjected to additive and quadratic multiplicative noise, and (ii) the superstatistical model. Previously, the bistable Langevin model has...
