Empirical confirmation of creative destruction from world trade data
Peter Klimek, Ricardo Hausmann, Stefan Thurner
We show that world trade network datasets contain empirical evidence that the dynamics of innovation in the world economy follows indeed the concept of creative destruction, as pro…
Understanding mobility in a social petri dish
Michael Szell, Roberta Sinatra, Giovanni Petri +2
Despite the recent availability of large data sets on human movements, a full understanding of the rules governing motion within social systems is still missing, due to incomplete…
Bistatic scattering characterization of a three-dimensional broadband cloaking structure
Pekka Alitalo, Ali E. Culhaoglu, Andrey V. Osipov +3
Here we present the results of full experimental characterization of broadband cloaking of a finite-sized metallic cylinder at X-band. The cloaking effect is characterized by measu…
Emergence of good conduct, scaling and Zipf laws in human behavioral sequences in an online world
Stefan Thurner, Michel Szell, Roberta Sinatra
We study behavioral action sequences of players in a massive multiplayer online game. In their virtual life players use eight basic actions which allow them to interact with each o…
What do generalized entropies look like? An axiomatic approach for complex, non-ergodic systems
Stefan Thurner, Rudolf Hanel
Shannon and Khinchin showed that assuming four information theoretic axioms the entropy must be of Boltzmann-Gibbs type, . Here we note that in physical sys…
When do generalized entropies apply? How phase space volume determines entropy
Rudolf Hanel, Stefan Thurner
We show how the dependence of phase space volume of a classical system on its size uniquely determines its extensive entropy. We give a concise criterion when this entro…
