Spatially embedded dynamics and complexity [PDF]
Complexity, 2010 AbstractTo gain a deeper understanding of the impact of spatial embedding on the dynamics of complex systems, we use a measure of interaction complexity developed within neuroscience using the tools of statistical information theory. We apply this measure to a set of simple network models embedded within Euclidean spaces of varying dimensionality to ...

Entropy, complexity, and spatial information [PDF]
Journal of Geographical Systems, 2014 We pose the central problem of defining a measure of complexity, specifically for spatial systems in general, city systems in particular. The measures we adopt are based on Shannon's (in Bell Syst Tech J 27:379-423, 623-656, 1948) definition of information.

Complexity and Spatial Networks
, 2013 The modern spatial economy has a global “networked” character that is generating important socio-economic and political changes. In this respect, new forms of connectivity play a significant role through their dynamic and complex interplay with the economic and political driving forces behind globalization.

Proceedings of FSTTCS 2022, 2022 Spatial games form a widely-studied class of games from biology and physics modeling the evolution of social behavior. Formally, such a game is defined by a square (d by d) payoff matrix M and an undirected graph G. Each vertex of G represents an individual, that initially follows some strategy i ∈ {1,2,…,d}. In each round of the game, every individual

Complex Spatial Query Processing [PDF]
GeoInformatica, 2004 The user of a Geographical Information System is not limited to conventional spatial selections and joins, but may also pose more complicated and descriptive queries. In this paper, we focus on the efficient processing and optimization of complex spatial queries that involve combinations of spatial selections and joins. Our contribution is manifold; we

Institutional complexity is complexity with an adjective [PDF]
, 2021 A review of the studies on institutional complexity reveals that the many definitions of institutional complexity and related concepts share similarities with the understanding of complexity and complex systems of complexity science. Yet few publications

The study of fractals among ecologists - doi: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v34i1.7701
Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2011 Fractals seemed to have permeated most scientific fields, including ecology. In fact, biodiversity and ecological processes are affected by spatial complexity, and fractals can help understand patterns at multiple scales.

A Ubiquitous Collective Tragedy in Transport
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 A tragedy of the commons is said to occur when individuals act only in their own interest but, in so doing, create a collective state of a group that is less than optimal due to uncoordinated action.

Visualising Spatial Complexity of Urban Sites [PDF]
, 2020 Recent research has linked urban design to artistic practice, and it is suggested that urban design could become refocused if conceived of as an integrative art of place.
