We discuss a special class of generalized divergence measures by the use of generator functions. Any divergence measure in the class is separated into the difference between cross and diagonal entropy. The diagonal entropy measure in the class associates with a model of maximum entropy distributions; the divergence measure leads to statistical estimation via minimization, for arbitrarily giving...

The article discusses the issue of organizing management a constantly operating object distributed in space and developing arbitrarily, while organization should be optimal according to criterion - maximum return (income) on invested funds (equipment) raw materials used. An energy system with well-known engineering concepts is used occasionally as an example. Particular attention paid reliabili...
