Information, Entropy, Life, and the Universe [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
In 2015, I wrote a book with the same title as this article. The book’s subtitle is: “What we know and what we do not know.” On the book’s dedication page, I wrote: “This book is dedicated to readers of popular science books who are baffled, perplexed ...

Measuring and analyzing the information entropy value of key Audit matters (KAMs) disclosure at the system and reporting scale [PDF]

open access: yesHeliyon
Drawing upon information entropy theory, this study deduces a measurement formula for the information entropy for key audit matters (KAMs) disclosure, considering both system scale and audit report scale. The information entropy of an audit report within

Effects of Stochastic Noises on Limit-Cycle Oscillations and Power Losses in Fusion Plasmas and Information Geometry

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
We investigate the effects of different stochastic noises on the dynamics of the edge-localised modes (ELMs) in magnetically confined fusion plasmas by using a time-dependent PDF method, path-dependent information geometry (information rate, information ...

Quantum Information and Entropy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Thermodynamic entropy is not an entirely satisfactory measure of information of a quantum state. This entropy for an unknown pure state is zero, although repeated measurements on copies of such a pure state do communicate information. In view of this, we

Information entropy in fragmenting systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The possibility of facing critical phenomena in nuclear fragmentation is a topic of great interest. Different observables have been proposed to identify such a behavior, in particular, some related to the use of information entropy as a possible signal ...

Entropy and Relative Entropy From Information-Theoretic Principles [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2021
We introduce an axiomatic approach to entropies and relative entropies that relies only on minimal information-theoretic axioms, namely monotonicity under mixing and data-processing as well as additivity for product distributions. We find that these axioms induce sufficient structure to establish continuity in the interior of the probability simplex ...

Entropy, complexity, and spatial information [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We pose the central problem of defining a measure of complexity, specifically for spatial systems in general, city systems in particular. The measures we adopt are based on Shannon's (in Bell Syst Tech J 27:379-423, 623-656, 1948) definition of ...

Information, Genetics and Entropy

open access: yesPrincipia: An International Journal of Epistemology, 2015
The consolidation of the informational paradigm in molecular biology research concluded on a system to convert the epistemic object into an operational technological object and a stable epistemic product.

Unruh Effect and Information Entropy Approach

open access: yesParticles, 2022
The Unruh effect can be considered a source of particle production. The idea has been widely employed in order to explain multiparticle production in hadronic and heavy-ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energies.
