Symbolic Sequences and Tsallis Entropy
We address this work to investigate symbolic sequences with long-range
correlations by using computational simulation. We analyze sequences with two,
three and four symbols that could be repeated times, with the probability
distribution . For these sequences, we verified that
the usual entropy increases more slowly when the symbols are correlated and the
Tsallis entropy exhibits, for a suitable choice of , a linear behavior. We
also study the chain as a random walk-like process and observe a nonusual
diffusive behavior depending on the values of the parameter .Comment: Published in the Brazilian Journal of Physic
Testing demand responsive shared transport services via agent-based simulations
Demand Responsive Shared Transport DRST services take advantage of
Information and Communication Technologies ICT, to provide on demand transport
services booking in real time a ride on a shared vehicle. In this paper, an
agent-based model ABM is presented to test different the feasibility of
different service configurations in a real context. First results show the
impact of route choice strategy on the system performance
On the dynamics of bubbles in boiling water
We investigate the dynamics of many interacting bubbles in boiling water by
using a laser scattering experiment. Specifically, we analyze the temporal
variations of a laser intensity signal which passed through a sample of boiling
water. Our empirical results indicate that the return interval distribution of
the laser signal does not follow an exponential distribution; contrariwise, a
heavy-tailed distribution has been found. Additionally, we compare the
experimental results with those obtained from a minimalist phenomenological
model, finding a good agreement.Comment: Accepted for publication in Chaos, Solitons & Fractal
