Entropy and variational principles for holonomic probabilities of IFS
نویسندگان
چکیده
An IFS (iterated function system) such that there exists a positive bounded function h : [0, 1] → R and a probability ν on [0, 1] satisfying P u (h) = ρh, P * u (ν) = ρν. There is no meaning to ask if the probabilities ν on [0, 1] arising in IFS are invariant for a dynamical system, but, we can ask if probabil-itiesˆν on [0, 1] × Σ are holonomic forˆσ. A probabilityˆν on [0, 1] × Σ is called holonomic forˆσ if g • ˆσ dˆν = g dˆν, ∀g ∈ C([0, 1]). We denote the set of holonomic probabilities by H. Via disintegration, holonomic probabilitiesˆν on [0, 1] × Σ are naturally associated to a ρ-weighted system. * u (ν) = ν. We consider holonomic ergodic probabilities and present the corresponding Ergodic Theorem (which is just an adaptation of a previous result by J. Elton). For a holonomic probabilityˆν on [0, 1] × Σ we define the entropy h(ˆ ν) = inf f ∈B + ln(P ψ f ψf)dˆν ≥ 0, where, ψ ∈ B + is a fixed (any one) positive potential. Finally, we analyze the problem: given φ ∈ B + , find the solution of the maximization problem p(φ) = supˆν∈H { h(ˆ ν) + ln(φ)dˆν }. We show na example where such supremum is attained by a holo-nomic not-invariant probability.

Entropy-based Serviceability Assessment of Water Distribution Networks, Subjected to Natural and Man-Made Hazards
In this study a modified entropy-based measure is presented for evaluating the serviceability level of water distribution networks in which the hydraulic uncertainties (flow rates in pipes) as well as the uncertainties due to mechanical parameters (failure probabilities of links) are considered simultaneously. In the proposed entropy calculation method, the connectivity order of the network dem...
متن کاملNon-holonomic Constraints and the Principle of Extremal Curvature
The extended variational principle fails for non-holonomic case. We use a vertical rolling disk as an example to illustrate this failure. We have studied the fundamental dynamical principle from which the motion of a mechanical system, whether holonomic or non-holonomic, can be derived.
متن کاملVariational Principles for Stellar Structure
The four equations of stellar structure are reformulated as two alternate pairs of variational principles. Different thermodynamic representations lead to the same hydromechanical equations, but the thermal equations require, not the entropy, but the temperature as the thermal field variable. Our treatment emphasizes the hydrostatic energy and the entropy production rate of luminosity produced ...
متن کاملGeneralised Exponential Families and Associated Entropy Functions
A generalised notion of exponential families is introduced. It is based on the variational principle, borrowed from statistical physics. It is shown that inequivalent generalised entropy functions lead to distinct generalised exponential families. The well-known result that the inequality of Cramér and Rao becomes an equality in the case of an exponential family can be generalised. However, thi...
متن کاملThe Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Radiation Interaction
We review some important recent developments in the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of radiation and matter-radiation mixtures. These include variational principles for nonequilibrium steady states of photons, neutrinos, and matter in local thermodynamic equilibrium. These variational principles can be extended to include mass and chemical potential. The general nature of radiation entropy, entro...
