Entropy, Shannon's Measure of Information and Boltzmann's H-Theorem
We start with a clear distinction between Shannon’s Measure of Information (SMI) and the Thermodynamic Entropy. The first is defined on any probability distribution; and therefore it is a very general concept. On the other hand Entropy is defined on a very special set of distributions. Next we show that the Shannon Measure of Information (SMI) provides a solid and quantitative basis for the int...
متن کاملAn entropy-based measure of morphological information
Traditional approaches to morphology tend to treat inflectional systems not as unstructured sets of forms with shared stems or roots but as structured networks of elements. The interdependency of elements is, as Matthews (1991: 197) notes, ‘the basis of exemplary paradigms’ in the classical grammatical tradition. Although the exemplary patterns and leading forms of traditional descriptions brin...
متن کاملField theory entropy, the H theorem, and the renormalization group.
We consider entropy and relative entropy in field theory and establish relevant monotonicity properties with respect to the couplings. The relative entropy in a field theory with a hierarchy of renormalization-group fixed points ranks the fixed points, the lowest relative entropy being assigned to the highest multicritical point. We argue that as a consequence of a generalized H theorem Wilsoni...
متن کاملH-Theorem and beyond: Boltzmann’s entropy in today’s mathematics
Some of the objects introduced by Boltzmann, entropy in the first place, have proven to be of great inspiration in mathematics, and not only in problems related to physics. I will describe, in a slightly informal style, a few striking examples of the beauty and power of the notions cooked up by Boltzmann.
متن کاملInformation Theoretic Interpretations for H∞ Entropy
Based on the studies on information transmission in discrete multivariable linear time invariant (LTI) system disturbed by stationary noise, relations within entropy rate, mutual information rate and H∞ entropy are discussed in both general control problem and classic tracking problem. For the general control systems, equivalent relations between entropy rate and H ∞ entropy are formulated by u...
