Maximum Entropy Principle underlying the dynamics of automobile sales

A. Hernando, D. Villuendas, M. Sulc +3

We analyze an exhaustive data-set of new-cars monthly sales. The set refers to 10 years of Spanish sales of more than 6500 different car model configurations and a total of 10M sol…

Zipf's law from a Fisher variational-principle

A. Hernando, D. Puigdomenech, D. Villuendas +2

Zipf's law is shown to arise as the variational solution of a problem formulated in Fisher's terms. An appropriate minimization process involving Fisher information and scale-invar…

Magneto-optical imaging of magnetic deflagration in Mn12-Acetate

D. Villuendas, D. Gheorghe, A. Hernández-Mínguez +4

For the first time, the morphology and dynamics of spin avalanches in Mn12-Acetate crystals using magneto-optical imaging has been explored. We observe an inhomogeneous relaxation…

Unravelling the size distribution of social groups with information theory on complex networks

A. Hernando, D. Villuendas, C. Vesperinas +2

The minimization of Fisher's information (MFI) approach of Frieden et al. [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 60} 48 (1999)] is applied to the study of size distributions in social groups on the ba…

Fisher-based thermodynamics for scale-invariant systems: Zipf's Law as an equilibrium state of a scale-free ideal gas

A. Hernando, D. Puigdomenech, D. Villuendas +1

We present a thermodynamic formulation for scale-invariant systems based on the principle of extreme information. We create an analogy between these systems and the well-known ther…
