Maximum entropy production principle in forest dynamics modelling [PDF]
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 ...

Lagrangian submanifolds generated by the Maximum Entropy principle
We show that the Maximum Entropy principle (E.T. Jaynes, [8]) has a natural description in terms of Morse Families of a Lagrangian submanifold. This geometric approach becomes useful when dealing with the M.E.P. with nonlinear constraints.

On the maximum principle for a time-fractional diffusion equation [PDF]
In this paper, we discuss the maximum principle for a time-fractional diffusion equation ∂tαu(x,t)=∑i,j=1n∂i(aij(x)∂ju(x,t))+c(x)u(x,t)+F(x,t),t>0,x∈Ω⊂Rn,$$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \partial_t^{\alpha} u(x,t) = \sum\limits_{i,j=1}^n \partial_i(a_{ij}(

Some Inequalities for the Omori-Yau Maximum Principle
We generalize A. Borbély’s condition for the conclusion of the Omori-Yau maximum principle for the Laplace operator on a complete Riemannian manifold to a second-order linear semielliptic operator L with bounded coefficients and no zeroth order term ...

The Hybrid Maximum Principle is a consequence of Pontryagin Maximum Principle [PDF]
We give a simple proof of the Maximum Principle for smooth hybrid control systems by reducing the hybrid problem to an optimal control problem of Pontryagin type and then by using the classical Pontryagin Maximum Principle.

A Maximum Principle for the Controlled Sweeping Process [PDF]
We consider the free endpoint Mayer problem for a controlled Moreau process, the control acting as a perturbation of the dynamics driven by the normal cone, and derive necessary optimality conditions of Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle type.

Relaxation Processes and the Maximum Entropy Production Principle
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 ...

Maximum principle for higher order operators in general domains
We first prove De Giorgi type level estimates for functions in W1,t(Ω), Ω⊂RN$ \Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^N $, with t>N≥2$ t \gt N\geq 2 $. This augmented integrability enables us to establish a new Harnack type inequality for functions which do not ...

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Characterizing the Strong Maximum Principle [PDF]
In this paper we characterize the degenerate elliptic equations F(D^2u)=0 whose viscosity subsolutions, (F(D^2u) \geq 0), satisfy the strong maximum principle. We introduce an easily computed function f(t) for t > 0, determined by F, and we show that the
