Stationary solution and theorem for a generalized Fokker-Planck equation

Max Jauregui, Anna L. F. Lucchi, Jean H. Y. Passos +1

We investigate a family of generalized Fokker-Planck equations that contains Richardson and porous media equations as members. Considering a confining drift term that is related to…

Robustness of sentence length measures in written texts

Denner S. Vieira, Sergio Picoli, Renio S. Mendes

Hidden structural patterns in written texts have been subject of considerable research in the last decades. In particular, mapping a text into a time series of sentence lengths is…

Characterization of Time Series Via Rényi Complexity-Entropy Curves

Max Jauregui, Luciano Zunino, Ervin K. Lenzi +2

One of the most useful tools for distinguishing between chaotic and stochastic time series is the so-called complexity-entropy causality plane. This diagram involves two complexity…

Transient superdiffusion and long-range correlations in the motility patterns of trypanosomatid flagellate protozoa

L. G. A. Alves, D. B. Scariot, R. R. Guimarães +3

We report on a diffusive analysis of the motion of flagellate protozoa species. These parasites are the etiological agents of neglected tropical diseases: leishmaniasis caused by L…

Scale-adjusted metrics for predicting the evolution of urban indicators and quantifying the performance of cities

Luiz G. A. Alves, Renio S. Mendes, Ervin K. Lenzi +1

More than a half of world population is now living in cities and this number is expected to be two-thirds by 2050. Fostered by the relevancy of a scientific characterization of cit…
