Information and information gain close to nonequilibrium phase transitions. Numerical results

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

Using a general result on the behavior of information and information gain close to instability points of self-organizing systems we calculate explicitly the information of a single order parameter close to a nonequilibrium phase transition. We also discuss by means of the result why the relevant quantities are interpreted as information rather than as entropy.
