The Relevance of Maximum Entropy Production Principle and Maximum Information Entropy Principle in Biology
We start this talk posing the question, is there any physical principle that can serve as a selection principle in biology too? One of the first undertakings in this direction, conducted by Prigogine and Wiame [1] noticed correctly that biological processes are irreversible and as such should be described within irreversible thermodynamics. Since irreversible processes are characterized by entr...
متن کاملSuperstatistical distributions from a maximum entropy principle.
We deal with a generalized statistical description of nonequilibrium complex systems based on least biased distributions given some prior information. A maximum entropy principle is introduced that allows for the determination of the distribution of the fluctuating intensive parameter beta of a superstatistical system, given certain constraints on the complex system under consideration. We appl...
متن کاملObjective Bayesianism and the Maximum Entropy Principle
Objective Bayesian epistemology invokes three norms: the strengths of our beliefs should be probabilities, they should be calibrated to our evidence of physical probabilities, and they should otherwise equivocate sufficiently between the basic propositions that we can express. The three norms are sometimes explicated by appealing to the maximum entropy principle, which says that a belief functi...
متن کاملCan low-lying Roper states be explained as antidecuplet members?
It is shown that the anomalously low-lying Roper states cannot be assigned as members of the 5Q antidecuplet or 5Q octet multiplets as suggested by Jaffe and Wilczek. A possible experimental discovery of the antidecuplet state Θ + (1540) [1] certainly disturbs a quiet life of hadron physics. Obviously there is a need not only to explain Θ + (1540) in a quark language (see, e.g. [2–4]), but also...
