“…RQA as a whole has been proven to constitute a very powerful technique for quantifying differences in the dynamics of complex systems and has meanwhile found numerous applications, e.g. in astrophysics [Kurths et al, 1994], ecology [Facchini et al, 2007], engineering [Litak et al, 2009], geo-and life sciences [Marwan et al, 2003;Marwan et al, 2007a], or protein research [Giuliani et al, 2002;Zbilut et al, 2004]. For a more comprehensive review on the potentials of this method, we refer to [Marwan, 2008;Webber Jr. et al, 2009].…”
