A generic scheme for choosing models and characterizations of complex systems
arXiv:physics/0308018
Abstract
It is argued that the two problems of choosing characterizations and models of complex systems should not be considered independently. A particular criterion for these choices, oriented on the potential usefulness of the results, is considered, and a generic formalization applicable to realistic experiments is developed. It is applied to Kuramoto-Sivashinsky chaos.
