Abstract Weighted Gini–Simpson index is an analytical tool that promises to be widely used
concerning biological and economics applications, relative to the assessment of diversity …

In this paper, it is discussed a framework combining traditional expected utility and weighted
entropy (EU-WE)—also named mean contributive value index—which may be conceived as …

We present and discuss a conceptual decision-making procedure supported by a
mathematical device combining expected utility and a generalized information measure: the …

Optimization of landscape mosaics is a theme that involves both compositional and
configuration features. This paper just deals with the first problem: may we say what are the …

In this brief note, the anomalous case–or degenerate, in the sense mentioned by Peirce in
the epigraphic quote–will be addressed, referring to the behavior of the optimal point of …

This paper reviews the concept of weighted entropy-also called useful information-
proposing a semiotic interpretation of the theme in terms of the relevance or informative …

Neste artigo analisam-se, etimológica e epistemologicamente, alguns tópicos da retórica da
paisagem, revendo os conceitos de território, habitat, ecomosaico e ecocampo (s). Ainda se …

Analysis of sustainability and diversity of landscapes demands methods that quantify the
composition of the mosaic in different habitats. Habitats have characteristic components of …

Forest planning is a major issue for future development of regions, and landscape changes
reflect to a large extent land-use/cover patterns related to economic and option's values as …

Following a note concerning the weighted entropy optimal point [2] when the dimension is
n= 2, this paper addresses the analogous case concerning the weighted Gini-Simpson …
