Calculating the Wasserstein Metric-Based Boltzmann Entropy of a Landscape Mosaic

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Shannon entropy is currently the most popular method for quantifying the disorder or information of a spatial data set such as a landscape pattern and a cartographic map.

A Novel Distance Metric: Generalized Relative Entropy

open access: yesEntropy, 2017
Information entropy and its extension, which are important generalizations of entropy, are currently applied to many research domains. In this paper, a novel generalized relative entropy is constructed to avoid some defects of traditional relative ...

A universal configurational entropy metric for high-entropy materials

open access: yesScripta Materialia, 2021
Abstract In recent years, high-entropy materials have become increasingly complex, outgrowing simple solid-solution based calculations of configurational entropy, and with that, the previously established metrics for high-, medium-, and low-entropy.

A Dynamical Systems-Based Hierarchy for Shannon, Metric and Topological Entropy

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
A rigorous dynamical systems-based hierarchy is established for the definitions of entropy of Shannon (information), Kolmogorov−Sinai (metric) and Adler, Konheim & McAndrew (topological).

Logical Entropy of Information Sources

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
In this paper, we present the concept of the logical entropy of order m, logical mutual information, and the logical entropy for information sources. We found upper and lower bounds for the logical entropy of a random variable by using convex functions ...

Maximizing Diversity in Biology and Beyond

open access: yesEntropy, 2016
Entropy, under a variety of names, has long been used as a measure of diversity in ecology, as well as in genetics, economics and other fields. There is a spectrum of viewpoints on diversity, indexed by a real parameter q giving greater or lesser ...

On Feldman–Katok metric and entropy formulas

open access: yesNonlinearity, 2023
Abstract In this paper, we study the Feldman–Katok metric and give corresponding entropy formulas by replacing Bowen metric with Feldman–Katok metric. It turns out that the Feldman–Katok metric is the weakest one, in the sense of allowing desynchrony and jump in the process of measuring orbit segments’ distance, that makes the entropy ...

t-Entropy formulae for concrete classes of transfer operators

open access: yesЖурнал Белорусского государственного университета: Математика, информатика, 2019
t-Entropy is a principal object of the spectral theory of operators, generated by dynamical systems, namely, weighted shift operators and transfer operators.

Natural Entropy Production in an Inflationary Model for a Polarized Vacuum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Though entropy production is forbidden in standard FRW Cosmology, Berman and Som presented a simple inflationary model where entropy production by bulk viscosity, during standard inflation without ad hoc pressure terms can be accommodated with Robertson ...
