Statistical Complexity - Applications in Electronic Structure

The understanding of electron density as the carrier of all the information of a multielectronic system is implicit in the theorems of density functional theory. Information theoretical based measures giving a quantitative understanding of statistical complexity of such systems is shaping up as a new area of research in chemical physics. This book is the first monograph of its kind covering the aspects of complexity measure in atoms and molecules.

List of contents

Atomic and Molecular Complexities: Their Physical and Chemical Interpretations.- Uncertainty relations related to the Renyi entropy.- Entropy and complexity analyses of D-dimensional quantum systems.- Analyzing the atomic shape function with information theory and complexity measures.- Statistical indicators of complexity and its applications.- Renyi and Fisher information as complexity measures.- Statistical complexity in quantum many-body systems.- Structural entropy and its applications.
