Maximum entropy production in daisyworld
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2012Daisyworld was first introduced in 1983 by Watson and Lovelock as a model that illustrates how life can influence a planet's climate. These models typically involve modeling a planetary surface on which black and white daisies can grow thus influencing the local surface albedo and therefore also the temperature distribution.

Proposed Principles of Maximum Local Entropy Production
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2012Articles have appeared that rely on the application of some form of "maximum local entropy production principle" (MEPP). This is usually an optimization principle that is supposed to compensate for the lack of structural information and measurements about complex systems, even systems as complex and as little characterized as the whole biosphere or the

The mechanics of granitoid systems and maximum entropy production rates
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2010A model for the formation of granitoid systems is developed involving melt production spatially below a rising isotherm that defines melt initiation. Production of the melt volumes necessary to form granitoid complexes within 10 4 –10 7 years demands ...

Maximum Entropy Production (MEP) and Climate
2021The idea of Maximum Entropy Production (MEP) appeared for the first time in 1975 in a paper by Garth Paltridge. He used a very simple energy balance climate model to evaluate the latitudinal temperature distribution requiring that the net exchange of the entropy for each latitude belt be at a minimum.

Black-body radiation and the maximum entropy production regime
European Journal of Physics, 1998Summary: A thermodynamical analysis is carried out for isothermal Lambertian radiating bodies emitting isotropic non-polarized radiation. We show that of all bodies which radiate the same quantity of energy a black body is that which produces the largest amount of entropy, and also of all isothermal radiating bodies at the same temperature a black body

Minimum uncertainty products from the principle of maximum entropy
Physical Review A, 1989Generalisation du principe d'entropie maximum pour obtenir plusieurs extrema possibles du produit d'incertitude correspondant aux produits generalises d'incertitude minimum discutes recemment par Lahiri et Menon. Ces travaux s'appliquent a des etats mixtes et conduisent a un nouveau algorithme de recuit pour obtenir les extrema de la fonctionnelle d ...

Prigogine and Wiame noticed correctly that biological processes are irreversible and as such should be described within irreversible thermodynamics. They took the entropy production as the basic quantity for the description of biological processes. In contrast to Prigogine.

A maximum entropy approach to the identification of productive technology spillovers [PDF]
, 2007 R&D activities by one industry often have positive effects on the productivity performance of other industries, as a consequence of technology spillovers. Econometric problems (such as multicollinearity), however, have prevented researchers from identifying the industries that have been responsible for the most important technology spillovers.

Fluctuations, Trajectory Entropy and Ziegler’s Maximum Entropy Production Principle
2013This chapter discusses two current interpretations of the maximum entropy production principle—as a physical principle and as an inference procedure. A simple model of relaxation of an isolated system towards equilibrium is considered for this purpose.
