Complexity of the Bondi Metric

A recently introduced concept of complexity for relativistic fluids is extended to the vacuum solutions represented by the Bondi metric. A complexity hierarchy is established, ranging from the Minkowski spacetime (the simplest one) to gravitationally radiating systems (the more complex). Particularly interesting is the possibility to differentiate between natural nonradiative (NNRS) and non-natural nonradiative (NNNRS) systems, the latter appearing to be simpler than the former. The relationship between vorticity and the degree of complexity is stressed.
