Automatic Image Thresholding Based on Shannon Entropy Difference and Dynamic Synergic Entropy
IEEE 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
Entropy, 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 ...

Probabilistic Inference for Dynamical Systems
Entropy, 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.

Generalized entropies and logarithms and their duality relations [PDF]
, 2012 For statistical systems that violate one of the four Shannon-Khinchin axioms, entropy takes a more general form than the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy. The framework of superstatistics allows one to formulate a maximum entropy principle with these generalized ...

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.

(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 ...

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
