title: Divergence measure between chaotic attractors.
abstract: We propose a measure of divergence of probability distributions for quantifying the dissimilarity of two chaotic attractors. This measure is defined in terms of a generalized entropy. We illustrate our procedure by considering the effect of additive noise in the well known Hénon attractor. Finally, we show how our approach allows one to detect nonstationary events in a time series.
