Gradualism and Irreversibility [PDF]
Review of Economic Studies, 1999 The authors study the following model of a two-person non-zero-sum dynamic game \(\Gamma\): There are two players \(i=1,2\). In each period \(t=0,1,\dots\), both players \(i=1,2\) simultaneously choose an action \(c_{i,t} \in \mathbb{R}_{+}\), measuring \(i\)'s level of cooperation. The one step payoffs in period \(t\) to players 1 and 2 are \(\pi(c_{1,

The “footprints” of irreversibility [PDF]
EPL (Europhysics Letters), 2008 We reformulate the result for the entropy production given in Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 080602 (2007) in terms of the relative entropy of microscopic trajectories. By a combination with the Crook's theorem, we identify the path variables that are sufficient to fully identify irreversibility.

Irreversibility as thermodynamic time
Open Physics, 2021 In Newtonian mechanics, time and space are perceived as absolute entities. In Einstein’s relativity theory, time is frame dependent. Time is also affected by gravitational field and as the field varies in space, time also varies throughout space.

The Origins of Irreversibility [PDF]
International Journal of Ecodynamics, 2007 This article is a theoretical contribution dedicated to Boltzmann's theorem revisited in light of the studies of Mario Ageno, late professor of Physics at the University of Rome (La Sapienza), who showed an interesting new point of view on probability and uncertainty in his book The Origins of Irreversibility.

Interpretation of Entropy Calculations in Energy Conversion Systems
Energies, 2021 Often, second law-based studies present merely entropy calculations without demonstrating how and whether such calculations may be beneficial. Entropy generation is commonly viewed as lost work or sometimes a source of thermodynamic losses.

Energy, Exergy, and Exergoeconomic (3E) Analysis of Gas Liquefaction and Gas Associated Liquids Recovery Co-Process Based on the Mixed Fluid Cascade Refrigeration Systems [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, 2022 In this study, energy, exergy, and exergoeconomic analysis is performed on the recent trend of joint production of liquefied natural gas and natural gas liquids based on mixed fluid cascade most important of refrigeration systems. The proposed process is

Epistasis between cultural traits causes paradigm shifts in cultural evolution [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Every now and then the cultural paradigm of a society changes. While current models of cultural shifts usually require a major exogenous or endogenous change, we propose that the mechanism underlying many paradigm shifts may just be an emergent feature ...

Hidden Dissipation and Irreversibility in Maxwell’s Demon
Entropy, 2022 Maxwell’s demon is an entity in a 150-year-old thought experiment that paradoxically appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics by reducing entropy without doing work.
