Entropy in Dynamic Systems

In order to measure and quantify the complex behavior of real-world systems, either novel mathematical approaches or modifications of classical ones are required to precisely predict, monitor, and control complicated chaotic and stochastic processes. Though the term of entropy comes from Greek and emphasizes its analogy to energy, today, it has wandered to different branches of pure and applied sciences and is understood in a rather rough way, with emphasis placed on the transition from regular to chaotic states, stochastic and deterministic disorder, and uniform and non-uniform distribution or decay of diversity. This collection of papers addresses the notion of entropy in a very broad sense. The presented manuscripts follow from different branches of mathematical/physical sciences, natural/social sciences, and engineering-oriented sciences with emphasis placed on the complexity of dynamical systems. Topics like timing chaos and spatiotemporal chaos, bifurcation, synchronization and anti-synchronization, stability, lumped mass and continuous mechanical systems modeling, novel nonlinear phenomena, and resonances are discussed

Tsallis Entropy of Product MV-Algebra Dynamical Systems

This paper is concerned with the mathematical modelling of Tsallis entropy in product MV-algebra dynamical systems. We define the Tsallis entropy of order α , where α ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) ∪ ( 1 , ∞ ) , of a partition in a product MV-algebra and its conditional version and we examine their properties. Among other, it is shown that the Tsallis entropy of order α , where α > 1 , has the property of sub-additivity. This property allows us to define, for α > 1 , the Tsallis entropy of a product MV-algebra dynamical system. It is proven that the proposed entropy measure is invariant under isomorphism of product MV-algebra dynamical systems
