Some of complex solar active regions exhibit rare and sudden transitions that occur over time intervals that are short compared to the characteristic time scales of their evolution. Usually, extreme radio emission is driven by a latent nonlinear process involving magnetic reconnection among coronal loops and such extreme events (e.g., X-class flares and coronal mass ejections) express the presence of plasma and magnetic activity usually hidden inside the solar convective layer. Recently, the scaling exponent obtained from Detrended Fluctuation Analysis has been used to characterize the formation of solar flare superevents - SFS (integrated flux of radiation greater than 1.5 J/m2) when it is observed in the decimetric range of 1-3 GHz (Veronese et al., 2011). Here, we show a complementary computational analisys of four X-class solar flares observed in 17GHz from Nobeyama Radioheliograph. Our analysis is based on the combination of DFA and Gradient Spectral Analysis (GSA) which can be used to characterize the evolution of SFSs under the condition that the emission threshold is large enough (fmax > 300 S.F.U.) and the solar flux unit variability is greater than 50% of the average taken from the minimum flux to the extreme value. Preliminary studies of the gradient spectra of Nobeyama data in 17 GHz can be found in Sawant et al. (JASTP 73(11), 2011). Future applications of GSA on the images which will be observed from the Brazilian Decimetric Array (BDA) are discusssed.
