Complex nonlinear turbulent dynamical systems are ubiquitous in many areas. Quantifying the model error and model uncertainty plays an important role in understanding and predicting complex dynamical systems. In the first part of this article, a simple information criterion is developed to assess the model error in imperfect models. This effective information criterion takes into account the information in both the equilibrium statistics and the temporal autocorrelation function, where the latter is written in the form of the spectrum density that permits the quantification via information theory. This information criterion facilitates the study of model reduction, stochastic parameterizations, and intermittent events. In the second part of this article, a new efficient method is developed to improve the computation of the linear response via the Fluctuation Dissipation Theorem (FDT). This new approach makes use of a Gaussian Mixture (GM) to describe the unperturbed probability density function in high dimensions and avoids utilizing Gaussian approximations in computing the statistical response, as is widely used in the quasi-Gaussian (qG) FDT. Testing examples show that this GM FDT outperforms qG FDT in various strong non-Gaussian regimes.

Analytical Expressions

We adopt a new approach, thermo entangled representation, to study time evolution of density operator in thermal environment. We then investigate the analytical expressions of Wigner function (WF) evolution of arbitrary number excited coherent states (ECSs) and excited even (odd) coherent states (EECSs, EOCSs) in thermal environment, respectively. In addition, their nonclassicality is numerically discussed by exploring the negativity of WF with decay time in thermal channel, respectively. It is found that WF loses its non-Gaussian nature and becomes Gaussian after long times.
