چکیده
Recent developments of the physics of complexity in space plasmas are briefly reviewed. The definition of dynamical complexity is provided. Concepts of probability distribution functions, wavelet transforms, intermittent turbulence, multifractal processes and extreme events are described. Future directions for this emerging field are discussed.

Residents of these houses can, Background: Life is now with a lot of complexity. Given the conditions, characteristics, human spirits and diversity, it is very necessary to have flexibility in their place of residence. Creating and cons...
متن کاملDusty plasmas and applications in space and industry
A dusty plasma is an ionized gas containing dust particles, with sizes ranging from tens of nanometers to hundreds of microns. The interaction of the dust particles with the plasma and ambient environment results in a charging of the dust grains. This Chapter summarizes our basic knowledge of dusty plasmas with applications in space, industry and the laboratory. The Introduction (Section 1) pro...
متن کاملMagnetic reconnection
The fundamental physics of magnetic reconnection in laboratory and space plasmas is reviewed by discussing results from theory, numerical simulations, observations from space satellites, and recent results from laboratory plasma experiments. After a brief review of the well-known early work, representative recent experimental and theoretical works are discussed and the essence of significant mo...
متن کاملComplexity, Forced And/or Self-organized Criticality, and Topological Phase Transitions in Space Plasmas
The first definitive observation that provided convincing evidence indicating certain turbulent space plasma processes are in states of “complexity” was the discovery of the apparent power-law probability distribution of solar flare intensities. Recent statistical studies of complexity in space plasmas came from the AE index, UVI auroral imagery, and in-situ measurements related to the dynamics...
متن کاملNoncollisional kinetic model for non-neutral plasmas in a Penning trap: general properties and stationary solutions.
This work deals with a noncollisional kinetic model for non-neutral plasmas in a Penning trap. Using the spatial coordinates r, theta, z and the axial velocity v(z) as phase-space variables, a kinetic model is developed starting from the kinetic equation for the distribution function f(r,theta,z,v(z),t). In order to reduce the complexity of the model, the kinetic equations are integrated along ...
