Entropy, Order and Disorder
Entropy is one of the few physical properties of a system that cannot be measured directly, but must be deduced or calculated from other properties. It is also a property that has been defined in a rather abstract sense and has not been connected to another observable property or physical variable. Since its formulation as a thermodynamic property, entropy has been linked to the concepts of ord...

We consider the new game of Cops and Attacking Robbers, which is identical to the usual Cops and Robbers game except that if the robber moves to a vertex containing a single cop, then that cop is removed from the game. We study the minimum number of cops needed to capture a robber on a graph G, written cc(G). We give bounds on cc(G) in terms of the cop number of G in the classes of bipartite gr...
