Entropy production in the cyclic lattice Lotka-Volterra model
The cyclic Lotka-Volterra model in a -dimensional regular lattice is
considered. Its ``nucleus growth'' mode is analyzed under the scope of Tsallis'
entropies , . It is shown both
numerically and by means of analytical considerations that a linear increase of
entropy with time, meaning finite asymptotic entropy rate, is achieved for the
entropic index . Although the lattice exhibits fractal patterns
along its evolution, the characteristic value of can be interpreted in
terms of very simple features of the dynamics.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure
