A statistical method for measuring the Galactic potential and testing gravity with cold tidal streams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We introduce the Minimum Entropy Method, a simple statistical technique for constraining the Milky Way gravitational potential and simultaneously testing different gravity theories directly from 6D phase-space surveys and without adopting dynamical ...

Entropy‐based benchmarking methods [PDF]

open access: yesStatistica Neerlandica, 2018
This paper argues that benchmarking of sign‐volatile time series has to be based on the principle of movement and sign preservation, which requires the benchmarked series to reproduce both the short‐term movements and signs of the original series. It is shown that the widely used variants of Denton method and the Causey‐Trager growth rate preservation ...

Optimal Placement of Pressure Gauges for Water Distribution Networks Using Entropy Theory Based on Pressure Dependent Hydraulic Simulation

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
This study proposed a pressure driven entropy method (PDEM) that determines a priority order of pressure gauge locations, which enables the impact of abnormal condition (e.g., pipe failures) to be quantitatively identified in water distribution networks (

Euclidean methods and the entropy function [PDF]

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, 2008
AbstractThe attractor mechanism implies that the supersymmetric black hole near horizon solution is defined only in terms of the conserved charges and is therefore independent of asymptotic moduli. Starting only with the near horizon geometry, Sen's entropy functional formalism computes the entropy of an extreme black hole by means of a Legendre ...
