Abstract
We present some new ideas about complexity and entropy of a dynamical system. These ideas have been developed by an interdisciplinary group in Pisa ([5], [7], [16], [17], [3]) and the theoretical work is supported by application to several complex systems, as to turbulent regimes or DNA sequences. Here we present the main theoretical concepts and some simple applications to the study of DNA sequences.
