Abstract
A measure of complexity for 1/f(beta) fluctuation is proposed using the blo ck entropy of a sequence of correlated symbols generated by 1/f(beta) fluct uation. This measure of complexity represents the diversity of sequences of correlated symbols. It is shown that the measure of complexity has the max imum value for 1/f fluctuation among 1/f(beta) fluctuations when the length of sequence of correlated symbols is chosen appropriately.
