1Introduction
Chaoticdynamicalsystemsarecharacterizedbyseveralmeasuresthatquantifyhowirregular(despitedeterministic)thetrajectoriesare.ThesetofLyapunovexponents[1]providesameasureofthedependenceontheinitialconditionsoftheirtrajectories,whileinformationtheorymaybeusedtocharacterizeadynamicalsystemintermsoftheproductionofentropy.Actually,adynam-icalsystemwithachaoticbehaviorisregardedasarealizationofShannon’sconceptofanergodicinformationsource[2],astheKolmogorov-Sinaientropy

Recently,theinvestigationofcomplexnetworkshassetupanewframeworkfortheanalysisofsystemswithalargenumberofdegreesoffreedom.Withinit,onehasaccesstothepropertiesofthetopologicalstructureunderlyingthemutualinteractionsamongthesystemconstituents.Thisapproachhasbeenappliedtoalargevarietyofactualsystems,rangingfromsocialinteractions,biologicalnature,informationandelectricaldistribution[14,15].
Inthiswork,wedefineamappingofdynamicalsystemsontoanetwork.Thisway,thenetworkpropertiescanbeusedtodisplaynewfeaturesforthecharacterizationofthesystem’strajectory.Thenetworknodescorrespondtocoarse-grainedregions(cells)ofthephasespacevisitedbythetrajectory.Twonodesrandsarelinkedif,duringthetimeevolution,thetrajectoryjumpsfromcellrtocells.Althoughthisnaturallyoffersaconstructionprocedureforadirectednetwork,weconsiderhereundirectednetworks.Inthisapproach,weareabletofindnovelgeometricandtopologicalpropertiesofthephasespacethroughthemeasuresthathavebeenrecentlydevelopedtocharacterizecom-plexnetworks.Thedynamicalsystem,definedonthetimedomain,ismappedintoanodedomain,whichrepresentsregionsofthephasespacevisitedbythetrajectory.Asitisbasedonthedivisionofphasespaceintoboxes,thispro-cessfollowssimilarconstructionproceduresconsideredintheevaluationofthefractaldimensionofattractorsandtheKolmogorov-Sinaientropy.

AnindirectednetworkRisdefinedonlybythenumberNofnodesandlinksL,representedbyanassemblyofunorderedpairsSR(r,s),r,s≤N,indicatingwhichpairsofnodesaredirectlyconnected.Thisinformationprovidesafulldescriptionofthenetwork,leadingtothecomputationoftheaveragenumberoflinkspernodek,theaverageclusteringcoefficientC,themeanminimaldistanceamongthenodesd,thediameterD,theprobabilitydistributionofnodeswithklinksp(k).Othermeasures,liketheassortativitydegree[20]andthedistributionofindividualnodeclusteringcoefficientsC(k)withrespecttoitsdegreekhavealsobeenintroduced,buttheyarenotexploredhere.
RcanbedescribedbyitsadjacencymatrixM(R).Thisisnotthemostcon-ciserepresentationofanetwork,butitopensthepossibilitytotheevaluationofitsspectralpropertiesand,asrecentlyindicated,thehigherorderneighborhoodsRℓ,ℓ=1,2,...,D[21].Thisisdoneinastraightforwardway,bymeansofthesetofmatrices{Mℓ},sodefinedthat(Mℓ)r,s=1onlyiftheshortestdistancealongthenetworkbetweenthenodesrandsisℓ.Otherwise,(Mℓ)r,s=0.Al-thoughthewholeinformationonthenetworkisentailedinSR(r,s)orinM(R),eachMℓcondensesinformationonRthatisextractedfromM(R)withinthequotedframework.ThisformalismisalsoconsistentwiththerecentlyproposedproceduretoevaluatethefractaldimensionofthenetworkdF,R[22],asitnat-urallyleadstotheset{Nℓ}requiredforthisevaluation.Here,eachNℓcountsthenumberofpairsofnodeswhichareℓstepsapart.
Withinthisframework,weconsiderthateachnodeistheonlyzerothorderneighborofitself,anddefineM0=I,whereIindicatestheidentitymatrix.Also,weassumethatM1=M.SincethematrixelementsofM(R)takeonlythevalues0and1,theothermatricesMℓofthesetarerecursivelyevaluatedwiththehelpofBooleanoperations[21].Weshallmakefurtheruseofamatrixthatcondensesallinformationin{Mℓ(R)}.Asjustdiscussed,givenanytwonodesrands,itisclearthat(Mℓ)rs=1forjustonevalueofℓ.So,ifwedefineamatrix

TomapadynamicalsystemintoanetworkR,weusetheframeworkofthealgorithmintroducedin[23],toefficientlyevaluatethegeneralizedfractaldi-mensionsoffractalstructuresbytheboxcountingmethod.
