The theoretical basis for a candidate variational principle for the information bottleneck (IB) method is formulated within the ambit of the generalized nonadditive statistics of Tsallis. Given a nonadditivity parameter $ q $, the role of the textit{additive duality} of nonadditive statistics ($ q^*=2-q $) in relating Tsallis entropies for ranges of the nonadditivity parameter $ q < 1 $ and $ q > 1 $ is described. Defining $ X $, $ tilde X $, and $ Y $ to be the source alphabet, the compressed reproduction alphabet, and, the textit{relevance variable} respectively, it is demonstrated that minimization of a generalized IB (gIB) Lagrangian defined in terms of the nonadditivity parameter $ q^* $ self-consistently yields the textit{nonadditive effective distortion measure} to be the textit{$ q $-deformed} generalized Kullback-Leibler divergence: $ D_{K-L}^{q}[p(Y|X)||p(Y|tilde X)] $. This result is achieved without enforcing any textit{a-priori} assumptions. Next, it is proven that the $q^*-deformed $ nonadditive free energy of the system is non-negative and convex. Finally, the update equations for the gIB method are derived. These results generalize critical features of the IB method to the case of Tsallis statistics.

We propose a new perspective on Turbulence using Information Theory. We compute the entropy rate of a turbulent velocity signal and we particularly focus on its dependence on the scale. We first report how the entropy rate is able to describe the dis tribution of information amongst scales, and how one can use it to isolate the injection, inertial and dissipative ranges, in perfect agreement with the Batchelor model and with a fBM model. In a second stage, we design a conditioning procedure in order to finely probe the asymmetries in the statistics that are responsible for the energy cascade. Our approach is very generic and can be applied to any multiscale complex system.
We establish for the first time heuristic correlations between harmonic space phase information and higher order statistics. Using the spherical full-sky maps of the cosmic microwave background as an example we demonstrate that known phase correlatio ns at large spatial scales can gradually be diminished when subtracting a suitable best-fit (Bianchi-) template map of given strength. The weaker phase correlations lead in turn to a vanishing signature of anisotropy when measuring the Minkowski functionals and scaling indices in real-space and comparing them with surrogate maps being free of phase correlations. Those investigations can open a new road to a better understanding of signatures of non-Gaussianities in complex spatial structures by elucidating the meaning of Fourier phase correlations and their influence on higher order statistics.
Sine-Wiener noise is increasingly adopted in realistic stochastic modeling for its bounded nature. However, many features of the SW noise are still unexplored. In this paper, firstly, the properties of the SW noise and its integral process are explor ed as the parameter $D$ in the SW noise tends to infinite. It is found that although the distribution of the SW noise is quite different from Gaussian white noise, the integral process of the SW noise shows many similarities with the Wiener process. Inspired by the Wiener process, which uses the diffusion coefficient to denote the intensity of the Gaussian noise, a quantity is put forward to characterize the SW noises intensity. Then we apply the SW noise to a one-dimensional double-well potential system and the Maier-Stein system to investigate the escape behaviors. A more interesting result is observed that the mean first exit time also follows the well-known Arrhenius law as in the case of the Gaussian noise, and the quasi-potential and the exit location distributions are very close to the results of the Gaussian noise.
It is a well-known fact that the degree distribution (DD) of the nodes in a partition of a bipartite network influences the DD of its one-mode projection on that partition. However, there are no studies exploring the effect of the DD of the other par tition on the one-mode projection. In this article, we show that the DD of the other partition, in fact, has a very strong influence on the DD of the one-mode projection. We establish this fact by deriving the exact or approximate closed-forms of the DD of the one-mode projection through the application of generating function formalism followed by the method of iterative convolution. The results are cross-validated through appropriate simulations.
Levy walk process is one of the most effective models to describe superdiffusion, which underlies some important movement patterns and has been widely observed in the micro and macro dynamics. From the perspective of random walk theory, here we inves tigate the dynamics of Levy walks under the influences of the constant force field and the one combined with harmonic potential. Utilizing Hermite polynomial approximation to deal with the spatiotemporally coupled analysis challenges, some striking features are detected, including non Gaussian stationary distribution, faster diffusion, and still strongly anomalous diffusion, etc.
