On Metropolis Growth
@article{Ahmad2017OnMG, title={On Metropolis Growth}, author={Syed Amaar Ahmad}, journal={arXiv: Physics and Society}, year={2017} }
We consider the scaling laws, second-order statistics and entropy of the consumed energy of metropolis cities which are hybrid complex systems comprising social networks, engineering systems, agricultural output, economic activity and energy components. We abstract a city in terms of two fundamental variables; $s$ resource cells (of unit area) that represent energy-consuming geographic or spatial zones (e.g. land, housing or infrastructure etc.) and a population comprising $n$ mobile units that…

Multiscale Information Theory and the Marginal Utility of Information
- Computer ScienceEntropy
- 2017
A formalism for multiscale information theory is introduced, which allows information to be quantified using any function that satisfies two basic axioms, and discusses two quantitative indices that summarize system structure: an existing index, the complexity profile, and a newIndex, the marginal utility of information.
