Maximum-entropy principle: ecological organization and evolution. [PDF]

J Biol Phys, 2010
In the present paper, we have first studied the role of the maximum-entropy principle to explain the concept of organization of a physical system in the decreasing law of entropy with the increase of external constraints imposed on the system. We have then considered an open ecosystem (living) and determined a quantitative measure of ecological ...

On the Equivalence of Gibbs, Boltzmann, and Thermodynamic Entropies in Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Scenarios [PDF]

Entropy
In this presentation, we have identified the domain of equivalence amongst the Boltzmann, Gibbs, and thermodynamic entropies. In this domain, ergodicity is followed even for (i) all nonequilibrium steady states and (ii) those time-dependent ...

Belief Reliability Distribution Based on Maximum Entropy Principle

IEEE Access, 2018
Belief reliability is a new reliability metric based on the uncertainty theory, which aims to measure system performance incorporating the influences from design margin, aleatory uncertainty, and epistemic uncertainty.

Maximum Entropy Principle in Image Restoration

Advances in Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2018
Many imaging systems are faced with the problem of estimating a true image from a degraded dataset. In such systems, the image degradation is translated into a convolution with a Point Spread Function (PSF) and addition of noise.

Maximum entropy production principle in forest dynamics modelling [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Forest ecosystems are vivid representatives of open non-equilibrium systems. The existence of extreme principles in “ecological thermodynamics” is a subject of discussion in the works of many physicists, ecologists and researchers dealing with non ...

Generalization of the maximum entropy principle for curved statistical manifolds

Physical Review Research, 2021
The maximum entropy principle (MEP) is one of the most prominent methods to investigate and model complex systems. Despite its popularity, the standard form of the MEP can only generate Boltzmann-Gibbs distributions, which are ill-suited for many ...

Lagrangian submanifolds generated by the Maximum Entropy principle

Entropy, 2005
We show that the Maximum Entropy principle (E.T. Jaynes, [8]) has a natural description in terms of Morse Families of a Lagrangian submanifold. This geometric approach becomes useful when dealing with the M.E.P. with nonlinear constraints.

Causal versions of maximum entropy and principle of insufficient reason

Journal of Causal Inference, 2021
The principle of insufficient reason (PIR) assigns equal probabilities to each alternative of a random experiment whenever there is no reason to prefer one over the other.

Lognormality in Turbulence Energy Spectra

Entropy, 2020
The maximum entropy principle states that the energy distribution will tend toward a state of maximum entropy under the physical constraints, such as the zero energy at the boundaries and a fixed total energy content. For the turbulence energy spectra, a
