Relaxation Processes and the Maximum Entropy Production Principle
Entropy, 2010 Spontaneous transitions of an isolated system from one macroscopic state to another (relaxation processes) are accompanied by a change of entropy. Following Jaynes’ MaxEnt formalism, it is shown that practically all the possible microscopic developments ...

Relative entropy, Haar measures and relativistic canonical velocity distributions [PDF]
, 2007 The thermodynamic maximum principle for the Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon (BGS) entropy is reconsidered by combining elements from group and measure theory. Our analysis starts by noting that the BGS entropy is a special case of relative entropy.

Entropy, 2017 The determination of the probability distribution function (PDF) of uncertain input and model parameters in engineering application codes is an issue of importance for uncertainty quantification methods. One of the approaches that can be used for the PDF

The Maximum Entropy Production Principle and Linear Irreversible Processes
Entropy, 2010 It is shown that Onsager’s principle of the least dissipation of energy is equivalent to the maximum entropy production principle. It is known that solutions of the linearized Boltzmann equation make extrema of entropy production.

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.

Statistics and quantum maximum entropy principle
Il Nuovo Cimento C, 2010 By using the reduced Wigner formalism we consider a kinetic theory for a quantum gas. We introduce a set of generalized kinetic fields and obtain a hierarchy of Quantum Hydrodynamic (QHD) equations for the corresponding macroscopic variables. To close the QHD system a maximum entropy principle is asserted, and to explicitly incorporate particles ...

Generalized entropies and logarithms and their duality relations [PDF]
, 2012 For statistical systems that violate one of the four Shannon-Khinchin axioms, entropy takes a more general form than the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy. The framework of superstatistics allows one to formulate a maximum entropy principle with these generalized ...

On an Objective Basis for the Maximum Entropy Principle
Entropy, 2015 In this letter, we elaborate on some of the issues raised by a recent paper by Neapolitan and Jiang concerning the maximum entropy (ME) principle and alternative principles for estimating probabilities consistent with known, measured constraint ...

Maximum Entropy Principle and the Higgs Boson Mass
, 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 ...

Entropy production selects nonequilibrium states in multistable systems
, 2017 Far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics underpins the emergence of life, but how has been a long-outstanding puzzle. Best candidate theories based on the maximum entropy production principle could not be unequivocally proven, in part due to complicated ...
