Abstract

Analysis of the control and subordination is carried out for the system of nonlinear stochastic equations describing fluctuations with the 1/f spectrum and with the interaction of nonequilibrium phase transitions. It is shown that the control equation of the system has a distribution function that decreases upon an increase in the argument in the same way as the Gaussian distribution function. Therefore, this function can be used for determining the Gibbs-Shannon informational entropy. The local maximum of this entropy is determined, which corresponds to tuning of the stochastic equations to criticality and indicates the stability of fluctuations with the 1/f spectrum. The values of parameter q appearing in the definition of these entropies are determined from the condition that the coordinates of the Gibbs-Shannon entropy maximum coincide with the coordinates of the Tsallis entropy maximum and the Renyi entropy maximum for distribution functions with a power dependence.
