The Entropy-Based Quantum Metric [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
The von Neumann entropy S( D ^ ) generates in the space of quantum density matrices  D ^ the Riemannian metric ds2 = −d2S( D ^ ), which is physically founded and which characterises the amount of quantum information lost by mixing  D ...

Metric Entropy of Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems [PDF]

open access: yesNonautonomous Dynamical Systems, 2014
We introduce the notion of metric entropy for a nonautonomous dynamical system given by a sequence (Xn; μn) of probability spaces and a sequence of measurable maps fn : Xn → Xn+1 with fnμn = μn+1.

Metric Entropy of Homogeneous Spaces [PDF]

open access: yesBanach Center Publications, 1997
For a (compact) subset $K$ of a metric space and $\varepsilon > 0$, the {\em covering number} $N(K , \varepsilon )$ is defined as the smallest number of balls of radius $\varepsilon$ whose union covers $K$.

(h, Φ)-entropy differential metric [PDF]

open access: yesApplications of Mathematics, 1997
Considered are monotone functions of integrals of concave or convex functions of probability densities, called generalized entropies. An example is the class of Rényi entropies. For families of parametrized densities, the Hessians along the directions of tangents of the parameter space define differential metrics of a Riemannian geometry.

De Sitter Entropy in Higher Derivative Theories of Gravity

open access: yesUniverse, 2023
A theorem on higer-order derivative theories of gravity is proved. We find that the de Sitter/anti-de Sitter metric is always a solution of any generally covariant theory of gravity.

Discretising Keyfitz' entropy for studies of actuarial senescence and comparative demography

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Keyfitz' entropy is a widely used metric to quantify the shape of the survivorship curve of populations, from plants to animals and microbes. Keyfitz' entropy values 1 correspond to species with a decreasing mortality rate with age (negative senescence),

Predicting the Lossless Compression Ratio of Remote Sensing Images With Configurational Entropy

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021
Compression of remote sensing images is beneficial to both storage and transmission. For lossless compression, the upper and lower limits of compression ratio are defined by Shannon's source coding theorem with Shannon entropy as the metric, which

Sampling, Metric Entropy, and Dimensionality Reduction [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, 2015
Let $Q$ be a relatively compact subset in a Hilbert space $V$. For a given $\e>0$ let $N(\e,Q)$ be the minimal number of linear measurements, sufficient to reconstruct any $x \in Q$ with the accuracy $\e$. We call $N(\e,Q)$ a sampling $\e$-entropy of $Q$.
