Complementing the Linear-Programming Learning Experience with the Design and Use of Computerized Games: The Formula 1 Championship Game
Gerardo L. Febres
This document focuses on modeling a complex situations to achieve an advantage within a competitive context. Our goal is to devise the characteristics of games to teach and exercis…
Assessing the impact of social activity permissiveness on the COVID-19 infection curve of several countries
Gerardo L. Febres
This document aims to estimate and describe the effects of the social distancing measures implemented in several countries with the expectancy of controlling the spread of COVID-19…
A non-iterative method for optimizing linear functions in convex linearly constrained spaces
Gerardo L. Febres
This document introduces a strategy to solve linear optimization problems. The strategy is based on the bounding condition each constraint produces on each one of the problem's dim…
A proposal about the meaning of scale, scope and resolution in the context of the interpretation process
Gerardo Febres
When considering perceptions, the observation scale and resolution are closely related properties. There is consensus in considering resolution as the density of elementary pieces…
Basis to develop a platform for multiple-scale complex systems modeling and visualization: MoNet
Gerardo L. Febres
This work presents some characteristics of MoNet, a digital platform for the modeling and visualization of complex systems. Emphasis is on the ideas that allowed the successful pro…
Calculating entropy at different scales among diverse communication systems
Gerardo Febres, Klaus Jaffe
We evaluated the impact of changing the observation scale over the entropy measures for text descriptions. MIDI coded Music, computer code and two human natural languages were stud…
Music Viewed by its Entropy Content: A Novel Window for Comparative Analysis
Gerardo Febres, Klaus Jaffe
Polyphonic music files were analyzed using the set of symbols that produced the Minimal Entropy Description which we call the Fundamental Scale. This allowed us to create a novel s…
A Fundamental Scale of Descriptions for Analyzing Information Content of Communication Systems
Gerardo Febres, Klaus Jaffe
The complexity of a system description is a function of the entropy of its symbolic description. Prior to computing the entropy of the system description, an observation scale has…
Quantifying literature quality using complexity criteria
Gerardo Febres, Klaus Jaffe
We measured entropy and symbolic diversity for English and Spanish texts including literature Nobel laureates and other famous authors. Entropy, symbol diversity and symbol frequen…
Complexity measurement of natural and artificial languages
Gerardo Febres, Klaus Jaffe, Carlos Gershenson
We compared entropy for texts written in natural languages (English, Spanish) and artificial languages (computer software) based on a simple expression for the entropy as a functio…
