Figure 4
Schematic representation of the relation between the configurational complexity , calculated for
M+A degrees of freedom, and the combinatorial and coordinational complexities, and , calculated for M and A degrees of freedom, respectively. Shown also are the weighting factors
M/(M+A) and
A/(M+A) as well as the unit weight contribution of the invariant subdivision complexity which taken all together sum to the configurational complexity . For a given choice of M and A the subdivision complexity is a constant, while the combinatorial and coordinational complexities, and , depend on the respective partitions of M and A possible for a given space-group type. |
