Training Concept, Evolution Time, and the Maximum Entropy Production Principle [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 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]

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 ...

Entropy production from maximum entropy principle: A unifying approach [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E
Entropy production is the crucial quantity characterizing irreversible phenomena and the second law of thermodynamics. Yet, a ubiquitous definition eludes consensus. Given that entropy production arises from incomplete access to information, in this Letter we use Jaynes' maximum entropy principle to establish a framework that brings together prominent ...

Life and Evolution in Terms of Maximum Entropy Production Principle

open access: yes, 2020
Maximum entropy production principle (MEPP) has been formulated in the mid-twentieth century, and today it has acquired the status of an important principle of science, which is extremely effective in considering various non-equilibrium problems. In this study, for the first time, definition of life is based on an easily measurable physical quantity ...

Enzyme kinetics and the maximum entropy production principle [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Chemistry, 2011
A general proof is derived that entropy production can be maximized with respect to rate constants in any enzymatic transition. This result is used to test the assumption that biological evolution of enzyme is accompanied with an increase of entropy production in its internal transitions and that such increase can serve to quantify the progress of ...

Maximum entropy production principle in forest dynamics modelling [PDF]

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences
Forest ecosystems are vivid representatives of open non-equilibrium systems. The existence of extreme principles in “ecological thermodynamics” is a subject of discussion in the works of many physicists, ecologists and researchers dealing with non ...

Maximum Entropy Production Principle and Morphological Selection in Hydrodynamic Systems [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings, 2017
In recent decades an idea has emerged that the maximum entropy production principle can be used to select from the different regimes of development of nonequilibrium systems. According to this principle the process with maximum entropy production is most

Self-Organization of Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions Studied by the Maximum Entropy Production Principle. [PDF]

open access: yesInt 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.

The Entropy of the Universe and the Maximum Entropy Production Principle [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2013
We show that (1) an error invalidates the derivation (Dewar 2005 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 38 L371) of the maximum entropy production (MaxEP) principle for systems far from equilibrium, for which the constitutive relations are nonlinear; and (2) the claim (Dewar 2003 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen.
