Thermodynamic substantiation of the direction of nonequilibrium processes in triadconjugations of machine parts based on the principles of maximum and minimum entropy

open access: yesПроблеми трибології, 2022
The article gives a thermodynamic substantiation of the direction of nonequilibrium processes in tribocouples of machine parts, in tribosystems, based on the principles of maximum and minimum entropy.

Beyond Moments: Extending the Maximum Entropy Principle to Feature Distribution Constraints

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
The maximum entropy principle introduced by Jaynes proposes that a data distribution should maximize the entropy subject to constraints imposed by the available knowledge.

Some Notes on Maximum Entropy Utility

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
The maximum entropy principle is effective in solving decision problems, especially when it is not possible to obtain sufficient information to induce a decision.

Automatic Image Thresholding Based on Shannon Entropy Difference and Dynamic Synergic Entropy

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
An automatic thresholding method based on Shannon entropy difference and dynamic synergic entropy is proposed to select a reasonable threshold from the gray level image with a unimodal, bimodal, multimodal, or peakless gray level histogram.

Entropy-Based Temporal Downscaling of Precipitation as Tool for Sediment Delivery Ratio Assessment

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
Many regions around the globe are subjected to precipitation-data scarcity that often hinders the capacity of hydrological modeling. The entropy theory and the principle of maximum entropy can help hydrologists to extract useful information from the ...

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.

Probabilistic Inference for Dynamical Systems

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
A general framework for inference in dynamical systems is described, based on the language of Bayesian probability theory and making use of the maximum entropy principle.

Bertrand's Paradox and the Maximum Entropy Principle [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research, 2019
An important suggestion of objective Bayesians is that the maximum entropy principle can replace a principle which is known to get into paradoxical difficulties: the principle of indifference. No one has previously determined whether the maximum entropy principle is better able to solve Bertrand's chord paradox than the principle of indifference.

The Maximum Entropy Production Principle and Linear Irreversible Processes

open access: yesEntropy, 2010
It is shown that Onsager’s principle of the least dissipation of energy is equivalent to the maximum entropy production principle. It is known that solutions of the linearized Boltzmann equation make extrema of entropy production.

Maximum Entropy Probability Density Principle in Probabilistic Investigations of Dynamic Systems

open access: yesEntropy, 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 ...
