How multiplicity determines entropy and the derivation of the maximum entropy principle for complex systems. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2014 Significance The maximum entropy principle (MEP) states that for many statistical systems the entropy that is associated with an observed distribution function is a maximum, given that prior information is taken into account appropriately.

A Clustering Method Based on the Maximum Entropy Principle
Entropy, 2015 Clustering is an unsupervised process to determine which unlabeled objects in a set share interesting properties. The objects are grouped into k subsets (clusters) whose elements optimize a proximity measure.

Maximum Entropy Principle and the Higgs Boson Mass [PDF]
, 2014 A successful connection between Higgs boson decays and the Maximum Entropy Principle is presented. Based on the information theory inference approach we determine the Higgs boson mass as $M_H= 125.04\pm 0.25$ GeV, a value fully compatible to the LHC ...

A Hydrodynamic Model for Silicon Nanowires Based on the Maximum Entropy Principle
Entropy, 2016 Silicon nanowires (SiNW) are quasi-one-dimensional structures in which the electrons are spatially confined in two directions, and they are free to move along the axis of the wire.

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 ...

Identifying the Probability Distribution of Fatigue Life Using the Maximum Entropy Principle
Entropy, 2016 It is well-known that the fatigue lives of materials and structures have a considerable amount of scatter and they are commonly suggested to be considered in engineering design.

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