This article is a brief introduction to complexity, complex thinking and complexitymanagement. Its purpose is to present an update on the applications of the complexitysciences particularly to the universe of corporations ...

We introduce the notion of star cluster of a simplex in a simplicial complex. This concept provides a general tool to study the topology of independence complexes of graphs. We use star clusters to answer a question arisen ...

This work responds to a criticism of effective complexity made by James McAllister, according to which such a notion is not an appropriate measure for information content. Roughly, effective complexity is focused on the ...

The Wilkinson complex was tested as a catalyst in the partial hydrogenation of 1-heptyne, a medium chain alkyne, at a temperature of T = 303 K and hydrogen pressure PH2 = 150 kPa. The tests were performed in homogeneous ...

A multiple-reference complex-based controller is proposed for three-phase power converters feeding nonlinear and unbalanced loads. The control scheme incorporates a stable multiple-complex coefficient filter with bandwidths ...

We propose a complexity measure for black-and-white (B/W) digital images, based on the detection of typical length scales in the depicted motifs. Complexity is associated with diversity in those length scales. In this ...

The dynamics of human society is now been studying in the context of the artificial environment created by cities. In this work, the authors describe some of the formal methods used in complexity science to study urban ...
