Training Concept, Evolution Time, and the Maximum Entropy Production Principle
The maximum entropy production principle (MEPP) is a type of entropy optimization which demands that complex non-equilibrium systems should organize such that the rate of the entropy production is maximized. Our take on this principle is that to prove or disprove the validity of the MEPP and to test the scope of its applicability, it is necessary to conduct experiments in which the entropy prod...
متن کاملThe 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 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 کاملInformation Entropy Dynamics and Maximum Entropy Production Principle
The asymptotic convergence of probability density function (pdf) and convergence of differential entropy are examined for the non-stationary processes that follow the maximum entropy principle (MaxEnt) and maximum entropy production principle (MEPP). Asymptotic convergence of pdf provides new justification of MEPP while convergence of differential entropy is important in asymptotic analysis of ...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy Principle for Uncertain Variables
The concept of uncertain entropy is used to provide a quantitative measurement of the uncertainty associated with uncertain variables. After introducing the definition, this paper gives some examples of entropy of uncertain variables. Furthermore this paper proposes the maximum entropy principle for uncertain variables, that is, out of all the uncertainty distributions satisfying given constrai...
