The Maximum Entropy Production Principle and Linear Irreversible Processes [PDF]
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.

Maximum Entropy Production Principle of Thermodynamics for the Birth and Evolution of Life [PDF]
EntropyResearch on the birth and evolution of life are reviewed with reference to the maximum entropy production principle (MEPP). It has been shown that this principle is essential for consistent understanding of the birth and evolution of life.

The maximum entropy production principle: two basic questions [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2010 The overwhelming majority of maximum entropy production applications to ecological and environmental systems are based on thermodynamics and statistical physics. Here, we discuss briefly maximum entropy production principle and raises two questions: (i) can this principle be used as the basis for non-equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics

A Story and a Recommendation about the Principle of Maximum Entropy Production [PDF]
Entropy, 2009 The principle of maximum entropy production (MEP) is the subject of considerable academic study, but has yet to become remarkable for its practical applications.

Self-Organization of Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions Studied by the Maximum Entropy Production Principle. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2023 The self-organization of open reaction systems is closely related to specific mechanisms that allow the export of internally generated entropy from systems to their environment. According to the second law of thermodynamics, systems with effective entropy export to the environment are better internally organized.

Training Concept, Evolution Time, and the Maximum Entropy Production Principle [PDF]
Entropy, 2016 The maximum entropy production principle (MEPP) is a type of entropy optimization which demands that complex non-equilibrium systems should organize such that the rate of the entropy production is maximized. Our take on this principle is that to prove or

Relaxation Processes and the Maximum Entropy Production Principle [PDF]
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 ...

The restrictions of the maximum entropy production principle [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and Its Applications, 2014 We tried to explain our point of view on this principle and answer a number of critical questions in this comment. It is the first time we have clearly presented all the existing restrictions of MEPP application and briefly explained them; this will help to avoid misunderstandings connected with its use.
