The Maximum Entropy Production Principle and Linear Irreversible Processes
Entropy, 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
Entropy, 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 ...

(Generalized) Maximum Cumulative Direct, Residual, and Paired Φ Entropy Approach
Entropy, 2020 A distribution that maximizes an entropy can be found by applying two different principles. On the one hand, Jaynes (1957a,b) formulated the maximum entropy principle (MaxEnt) as the search for a distribution maximizing a given entropy under some given ...

Entropy production selects nonequilibrium states in multistable systems
, 2017 Far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics underpins the emergence of life, but how has been a long-outstanding puzzle. Best candidate theories based on the maximum entropy production principle could not be unequivocally proven, in part due to complicated ...

A Comparison of the Maximum Entropy Principle Across Biological Spatial Scales
Entropy, 2019 Despite their differences, biological systems at different spatial scales tend to exhibit common organizational patterns. Unfortunately, these commonalities are often hard to grasp due to the highly specialized nature of modern science and the parcelled ...

Entropy Production and Viscosity of A Dilute Gas
, 2012 It is known that the viscosity of a dilute gas can be derived by using kinetic theory. We present here a new derivation by using two entropy production principles: the steepest entropy ascent (SEA) principle and the maximum entropy production (MEP ...

Entropies for complex systems: generalized-generalized entropies
, 2007 Many complex systems are characterized by non-Boltzmann distribution functions of their statistical variables. If one wants to -- justified or not -- hold on to the maximum entropy principle for complex statistical systems (non-Boltzmann) we demonstrate ...

Maximum Entropy in Drug Discovery
Entropy, 2014 Drug discovery applies multidisciplinary approaches either experimentally, computationally or both ways to identify lead compounds to treat various diseases. While conventional approaches have yielded many US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved

An information theory for preferences
, 2003 Recent literature in the last Maximum Entropy workshop introduced an analogy between cumulative probability distributions and normalized utility functions. Based on this analogy, a utility density function can de defined as the derivative of a normalized

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