On Nonlinear Complexity and Shannon’s Entropy of Finite Length Random Sequences

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
Pseudorandom binary sequences have important uses in many fields, such as spread spectrum communications, statistical sampling and cryptography. There are two kinds of method in evaluating the properties of sequences, one is based on the probability ...

Lessons Learned From a Delayed‐Start Trial of Modafinil for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Freezing of gait (FOG) in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) is debilitating and has limited treatments. Modafinil modulates beta/gamma band activity in the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN), like PPN deep brain stimulation. We therefore tested the hypothesis that Modafinil would improve FOG in PwPD.

Critical Noise Levels for LDPC decoding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We determine the critical noise level for decoding low density parity check error correcting codes based on the magnetization enumerator ($\cM$), rather than on the weight enumerator ($\cW$) employed in the information theory literature.

Light‐Induced Entropy for Secure Vision

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work realized a ternary true random number generator by exploiting stochastic traps emerging within multiple junction interfaces, and quantitatively validated the generation of high‐quality random numbers. Furthermore, it successfully demonstrated diverse applications, including AI‐resilient image security, thereby providing a valuable guide for ...

Use and Abuse of Entropy in Biology: A Case for Caliber

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Here, I discuss entropy and its use as a tool in fields of biology such as bioenergetics, ecology, and evolutionary biology. Statistical entropy concepts including Shannon’s diversity, configurational entropy, and informational entropy are discussed in ...

"Graph Entropy, Network Coding and Guessing games" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We introduce the (private) entropy of a directed graph (in a new network coding sense) as well as a number of related concepts. We show that the entropy of a directed graph is identical to its guessing number and can be bounded from below with the number

On the extended Kolmogorov-Nagumo information-entropy theory, the q -> 1/q duality and its possible implications for a non-extensive two dimensional Ising model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The aim of this paper is to investigate the q -> 1/q duality in an information-entropy theory of all q-generalized entropy functionals (Tsallis, Renyi and Sharma-Mittal measures) in the light of a representation based on generalized exponential and ...

Assembling a True “Olympic Gel” From over 16 000 Combinatorial DNA Rings

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Olympic gels are an elusive class of soft matter, consisting of molecular networks held together purely by mechanically interlocked rings. Their topological structure promises unique properties and functions, but their synthesis has proven notoriously difficult.
