Modeling Soil Moisture Profiles in Irrigated Fields by the Principle of Maximum Entropy

open access: goldEntropy, 2015
Vertical soil moisture profiles based on the principle of maximum entropy (POME) were validated using field and model data and applied to guide an irrigation cycle over a maize field in north central Alabama (USA).

Axiomatic derivation of the principle of maximum entropy and the principle of minimum cross-entropy [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 1980
Jaynes's principle of maximum entropy and Kullbacks principle of minimum cross-entropy (minimum directed divergence) are shown to be uniquely correct methods for inductive inference when new information is given in the form of expected values. Previous justifications use intuitive arguments and rely on the properties of entropy and cross-entropy as ...

Atomic Structure Modeling of Multi-Principal-Element Alloys by the Principle of Maximum Entropy

open access: yesEntropy, 2013
Atomic structure models of multi-principal-element alloys (or high-entropy alloys) composed of four to eight componential elements in both BCC and FCC lattice structures are built according to the principle of maximum entropy.

Maximum Entropy Probability Density Principle in Probabilistic Investigations of Dynamic Systems [PDF]

open access: goldEntropy, 2018
In this study, we consider a method for investigating the stochastic response of a nonlinear dynamical system affected by a random seismic process. We present the solution of the probability density of a single/multiple-degree of freedom (SDOF/MDOF ...

An Expression for Velocity Lag in Sediment-Laden Open-Channel Flows Based on Tsallis Entropy Together with the Principle of Maximum Entropy [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
In the context of river dynamics, some experimental results have shown that particle velocity is different from fluid velocity along the stream-wise direction for uniform sediment-laden open-channel flows; this velocity difference has been termed ...

Modelling and Simulation of Seasonal Rainfall Using the Principle of Maximum Entropy

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
We use the principle of maximum entropy to propose a parsimonious model for the generation of simulated rainfall during the wettest three-month season at a typical location on the east coast of Australia.

The restrictions of the maximum entropy production principle [PDF]

open access: bronzePhysica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2014
We tried to explain our point of view on this principle and answer a number of critical questions in this comment. It is the first time we have clearly presented all the existing restrictions of MEPP application and briefly explained them; this will help to avoid misunderstandings connected with its use.

On the Equivalence of Gibbs, Boltzmann, and Thermodynamic Entropies in Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Scenarios [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
In this presentation, we have identified the domain of equivalence amongst the Boltzmann, Gibbs, and thermodynamic entropies. In this domain, ergodicity is followed even for (i) all nonequilibrium steady states and (ii) those time-dependent ...

Principle of Maximum Entropy Applied to Rayleigh–Bénard Convection [PDF]

open access: greenJournal of the Physical Society of Japan, 2006
A statistical-mechanical investigation is performed on Rayleigh-B nard convection of a dilute classical gas starting from the Boltzmann equation. We first present a microscopic derivation of basic hydrodynamic equations and an expression of entropy appropriate for the convection.
