Abstract: | 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. |
