Lognormality in Turbulence Energy Spectra

open access: yesEntropy, 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

On High-Dimensional Time-Variant Reliability Analysis with the Maximum Entropy Principle

open access: yesInternational Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2022
The structural reliability analysis suffers from the curse of dimensionality if the associated limit state function involves a large number of inputs.

Relaxation Processes and the Maximum Entropy Production Principle

open access: yesEntropy, 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 ...

Use of the Principles of Maximum Entropy and Maximum Relative Entropy for the Determination of Uncertain Parameter Distributions in Engineering Applications

open access: yesEntropy, 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

open access: yesEntropy, 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.

Generalized entropies and logarithms and their duality relations [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Statistical equilibrium of tetrahedra from maximum entropy principle [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2018
Discrete formulations of (quantum) gravity in four spacetime dimensions build space out of tetrahedra. We investigate a statistical mechanical system of tetrahedra from a many-body point of view based on non-local, combinatorial gluing constraints that ...

Statistics and quantum maximum entropy principle

open access: yesIl 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 ...

On an Objective Basis for the Maximum Entropy Principle

open access: yesEntropy, 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 ...

Entropy production selects nonequilibrium states in multistable systems

open access: yes, 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 ...
