On the complexity of finding the maximum entropy compatible quantum state
Herein we study the problem of recovering a density operator from a set of compatible marginals, motivated from limitations of physical observations. Given that the set of compatible density operators is not singular, we adopt Jaynes' principle and wish ...

Unique extension of the maximum entropy principle to phase coexistence in heat conduction
The maximum entropy principle determines the values of thermodynamic variables in thermally isolated equilibrium systems. This paper extends the principle to a variational principle that applies to liquid–gas coexistence in heat conduction.

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

Prediction of Chromosome Conformations with Maximum Entropy Principle [PDF]
The genomes’ three-dimensional (3D) organization is crucial in regulating many biological processes, including gene regulation, DNA replication, and cell differentiation. A high-resolution chromosome structure thus will significantly advance our understanding of these important processes.

Rheological Characterization of Mineral Slurries Based on the Principle of Maximum Entropy
The rheological characterization of mineral slurries is a complex task, especially in the presence of coarse particles with high specific gravity, such as hematite.

Utility Function from Maximum Entropy Principle
Recently we used the maximum entropy principle for finding the price density in a multi agent insurance market. The result is similar to what the Buhlmann had obtained by maximizing the utility function.

Bayesian Inference and the Principle of Maximum Entropy
Bayes' theorem incorporates distinct types of information through the likelihood and prior. Direct observations of state variables enter the likelihood and modify posterior probabilities through consistent updating. Information in terms of expected values of state variables modify posterior probabilities by constraining prior probabilities to be ...

On the relation between plausibility logic and the maximum-entropy principle: a numerical study [PDF]
What is the relationship between plausibility logic and the principle of maximum entropy? When does the principle give unreasonable or wrong results? When is it appropriate to use the rule `expectation = average'?

We endorse the comment on our recent paper [En{\ss}lin and Weig, Phys. Rev. E 82, 051112 (2010)] by Iatsenko, Stefanovska and McClintock [Phys. Rev. E 85 033101 (2012)] and we try to clarify the origin of the apparent controversy on two issues.
