Pair density functional theory by means of the correlated wave function [PDF]
, 2006 We present a density functional scheme for calculating the pair density (PD) by means of the correlated wave function. This scheme is free from both of problems related to PD functional theory, i.e., (a) the need to constrain the variational principle to

Replicated Bethe Free Energy: A Variational Principle behind Survey Propagation
, 2005 A scheme to provide various mean-field-type approximation algorithms is presented by employing the Bethe free energy formalism to a family of replicated systems in conjunction with analytical continuation with respect to the number of replicas.

Quantum Informational Dark Energy: Dark energy from forgetting
, 2007 We suggest that dark energy has a quantum informational origin. Landauer's principle associated with the erasure of quantum information at a cosmic horizon implies the non-zero vacuum energy having effective negative pressure.

Dynamics of liquid nanofilms [PDF]
, 2008 The van der Waals forces across a very thin liquid layer (nanofilm) in contact with a plane solid wall make the liquid nonhomogeneous. The dynamics of such flat liquid nanofilms is studied in isothermal case.

Is the free-energy principle neurocentric? [PDF]
Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2010 Recently, a free-energy formulation of brain function was reviewed in relation to several other neurobiological theories (The freeenergy principle: a unified brain theory? Nature Rev. Neurosci. 11, 127–138 (2010))1. Fiorillo raises some interesting questions about the formulation from a neurocentric perspective (A neurocentric approach to Bayesian ...

The Hardy Uncertainty Principle Revisited
, 2010 We give a real-variable proof of the Hardy uncertainty principle. The method is based on energy estimates for evolutions with positive viscosity, convexity properties of free waves with Gaussian decay at two different times, elliptic $L^2$-estimates and ...

Multiscale Free Energy Analysis of Human Ecosystem Engineering
Entropy, 2021 Unlike ecosystem engineering by other living things, which brings a relatively limited range of sensations that are connected to a few enduring survival preferences, human ecosystem engineering brings an increasing variety and frequency of novel ...

Reinforced Imitation Learning by Free Energy Principle
, 2021 Reinforcement Learning (RL) requires a large amount of exploration especially in sparse-reward settings. Imitation Learning (IL) can learn from expert demonstrations without exploration, but it never exceeds the expert's performance and is also vulnerable to distributional shift between demonstration and execution.

Active Inference and Epistemic Value in Graphical Models
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022 The Free Energy Principle (FEP) postulates that biological agents perceive and interact with their environment in order to minimize a Variational Free Energy (VFE) with respect to a generative model of their environment. The inference of a policy (future
