Entropy Production in Stochastics
نویسنده
چکیده
While the modern definition of entropy is genuinely probabilistic, in entropy production the classical thermodynamic definition, as in heat transfer, is typically used. Here we explore the concept of entropy production within stochastics and, particularly, two forms of entropy production in logarithmic time, unconditionally (EPLT) or conditionally on the past and present having been observed (CEPLT). We study the theoretical properties of both forms, in general and in application to a broad set of stochastic processes. A main question investigated, related to model identification and fitting from data, is how to estimate the entropy production from a time series. It turns out that there is a link of the EPLT with the climacogram, and of the CEPLT with two additional tools introduced here, namely the differenced climacogram and the climacospectrum. In particular, EPLT and CEPLT are related to slopes of log-log plots of these tools, with the asymptotic slopes at the tails being most important as they justify the emergence of scaling laws of second-order characteristics of stochastic processes. As a real-world application, we use an extraordinary long time series of turbulent velocity and show how a parsimonious stochastic model can be identified and fitted using the tools developed.

Maximum entropy distributions inferred from option portfolios on an asset
We obtain the Maximum Entropy distribution for an asset from call and digital option prices. A rigorous mathematical proof of its existence and exponential form is given, which can also be applied to legitimize a formal derivation by Buchen and Kelly [4]. We give a simple and robust algorithm for our method and compare our results to theirs. Finally, we present numerical results which show that...
متن کاملStochastics theory of log-periodic patterns
We introduce an analytical model based on birth-death clustering processes to help understanding the empirical log-periodic corrections to power-law scaling and the finitetime singularity as reported in several domains including rupture, earthquakes, world population and financial systems. In our stochastics theory log-periodicities are a consequence of transient clusters induced by an entropy-...
متن کاملMinimal q-entropy martingale measures for exponential time-changed Lévy processes
In this paper, we consider structure preserving measure transforms for time-changed Lévy processes. Within this class of transforms preserving the time-changed Lévy structure, we derive equivalent martingale measures minimizing relative q-entropy. Structure preservation is found to be an inherent property of minimal q-entropy martingale measures under continuous time changes, whereas it imposes...

A compact fin-tube heat exchanger is used to transfer current fluid heat inside the tubes into the air outside. In this study, entropy production and optimized Reynolds number for finned-tube heat exchangers based on the minimum entropy production have been investigated. As a result, the total entropy of compact heat exchangers, which is the summation of the production rate of fluid entropy ins...
متن کاملOn q-optimal martingale measures in exponential Lévy models
We give a sufficient condition to identify the q-optimal signed and the q-optimal absolutely continuous martingale measures in exponential Lévy models. As a consequence we find that, in the onedimensional case, the q-optimal equivalent martingale measures may exist only, if the tails for upward jumps are extraordinarily light. Moreover, we derive convergence of the q-optimal signed, resp. absol...
