Calculation of the Entropy Balance Equation in a Non-equilibrium Reaction-diffusion System
Entropy, 2010 In this article, we discuss the relationships between thermodynamic quantities and the spatial pattern in a reaction-diffusion model based on the reversible Gray-Scott model.

Entropy Principle and Recent Results in Non-Equilibrium Theories [PDF]
Entropy, 2014 We present the state of the art on the modern mathematical methods of exploiting the entropy principle in thermomechanics of continuous media. A survey of recent results and conceptual discussions of this topic in some well-known non-equilibrium theories

Modeling Non-Equilibrium Dynamics of a Discrete Probability Distribution: General Rate Equation for Maximal Entropy Generation in a Maximum-Entropy Landscape with Time-Dependent Constraints [PDF]
Entropy, 2008 A rate equation for a discrete probability distribution is discussed as a route to describe smooth relaxation towards the maximum entropy distribution compatible at all times with one or more linear constraints. The resulting dynamics follows the path of

The Maximum Entropy Production Principle: Its Theoretical Foundations and Applications to the Earth System [PDF]
, 2010 The Maximum Entropy Production (MEP) principle has been remarkably successful in producing accurate predictions for non-equilibrium states. We argue that this is because the MEP principle is an effective inference procedure that produces the best ...

Free and classical entropy over the circle. [PDF]
, 2007 Relative entropy with respect to normalized arclength measure on the circle is greater than or equal to the negative logarithmic energy (Voiculescu's negative free entropy) and is greater than or equal to the modified relative free entropy.

Estimating time-dependent entropy production from non-equilibrium trajectories
Communications Physics, 2022 While methods for estimating the entropy production rate of a stationary process are relatively well established, this is still a challenge in non-stationary conditions.

Fluctuation theorem between non-equilibrium states in an RC circuit
New Journal of Physics, 2015 Fluctuation theorems impose constraints on the probability of observing negative entropy production in small systems driven out of equilibrium. The range of validity of fluctuation theorems has been extensively tested for transitions between equilibrium ...

An introduction to the non-equilibrium steady states of maximum entropy spike trains [PDF]
, 2019 Although most biological processes are characterized by a strong temporal asymmetry, several popular mathematical models neglect this issue. Maximum entropy methods provide a principled way of addressing time irreversibility, which leverages powerful ...

MRNG: Accessing Cosmic Radiation as an Entropy Source for a Non-Deterministic Random Number Generator [PDF]
, 2023 Privacy and security require not only strong algorithms but also reliable and readily available sources of randomness. To tackle this problem, one of the causes of single-event upsets is the utilization of a non-deterministic entropy source, specifically
