Spatial Complexity: Theory, Mathematical Methods and Applications

This book delivers stimulating input for a broad range of researchers, from geographers and ecologists to psychologists interested in spatial perception and physicists researching in complex systems.

How can one decide whether one surface or spatial object is more complex than another?

What does it require to measure the spatial complexity of small maps, and why does this matter for nature, science and technology?

Drawing from algorithmics, geometry, topology, probability and informati...
