A hierarchy of diffusive partial differential equations is derived by a moment method and a Chapman-Enskog expansion from the semiconductor Boltzmann equation assuming dominant collisions. The moment equations are closed by employing the entropy maximization principle of Levermore. The new hierarchy contains the well-known drift-diffusion model, the energy-transport equations, and the six-momen...

A theoretical and a mathematical model is presented to determine the entropy generation on electro-kinetically modulated peristaltic propulsion on the magnetized nanofluid flow through a microchannel with joule heating. The mathematical modeling is based on the energy, momentum, continuity, and entropy equation in the Cartesian coordinate system. The effects of viscous dissipation, heat absorpt...

We review the relative entropy method in the context of hyperbolic and diffusive relaxation limits of entropy solutions for various hyperbolic models. The main example consists of the convergence from multidimensional compressible Euler equations with friction to the porous medium equation [7]. With small modifications, the arguments used in that case can be adapted to the study of the diffusiv...

There are two entropy-based methods to deal with linear inverse problems, which we shall call the ordinary method of maximum entropy (OME) and the method of maximum entropy in the mean (MEM). Not only does MEM use OME as a stepping stone, it also allows for greater generality. First, because it allows to include convex constraints in a natural way, and second, because it allows to incorporate a...

We introduce Poisson boundaries of II $_1$ factors with respect to density operators that give the traces. The boundary is a von Neumann algebra contains factor and particular example unital completely positive map as introduced by Izumi. Studying inclusion into its boundary, we develop number notions, such double ergodicity entropy, can be seen natural analogues results regarding Furstenberg. ...

We study convexity properties of the Rényi entropy as function $\alpha >0$ on finite alphabets. also describe robustness alphabets, and it turns out that rate respective convergence depends initial alphabet. establish disturbed when distribution is uniform but number events increases to ? prove limit binomial equal Poisson distribution.

This paper investigates the complex behaviors and entropy properties for a novel random complex interacting stock price dynamics, which is established by the combination of stochastic contact process and compound Poisson process, concerning with stock return fluctuations caused by the spread of investors’ attitudes and random jump fluctuations caused by the macroeconomic environment, respective...

We present a first physical application of Tsallis’ generalized entropy to the thermodynamics of self-gravitating systems. The stellar system confined in a spherical cavity of radius re exhibits an instability, so-called gravothermal catastrophe, which has been originally investigated by Antonov (Vest.Leningrad Gros.Univ. 7 (1962) 135) and Lynden-Bell & Wood (Mon.Not.R.Astron.Soc. 138 (1968) 49...

Global stability of the spherically symmetric nonisentropic compressible Euler equations with positive density around global-in-time background affine solutions is shown in presence free vacuum boundaries. Vacuum achieved despite a non-vanishing by considering negatively unbounded entropy, and we use novel weighted energy method, whereby exponential entropy will act as changing weight to handle...
