G\"oran Lindblad in 1983 published a monograph on non-equilibrium thermodynamics. We here summarize the contents of this book, and provide perspective its relation to later developments statistical physics quantum physics. high-light two aspects. The first is idea that while all unitaries can be allowed principle, different theories result from limiting which unitary evolutions are realized rea...

This study evaluates the potential of the entropy rate contour to identify stationary and non-stationary segments of speech signals. The segmentation produced by an entropy rate-based method is compared to the manual phoneme segmentations of the TIMIT and the KIEL corpora. Characteristic points, i.e. steepest rises and falls of the entropy rate curve and its maxima and minima are investigated t...

We consider the bipartite state of a two-photon polarization system and obtain the exact analytical expression for the von Neumann entropy in the particular case of a 5-parameter polarization density matrix. We investigate and graphically illustrate the dependence of the entropy on these five parameters, in particular, the existence of exotic, transition from exotic to non-exotic, and non-exoti...

In this paper, we present an entropy based approach for DOA estimation in Gaussian and non-Gaussian environments. The DOA estimates are obtained by minimizing an entropy measure of the array data in the noise subspace. We show that the entropy approach leads to the MAP algorithm under the Gaussian assumption. Under the non-Gaussian assumption, we apply the varimax norm as an information measure...

Here, we propose a mathematical model to analyze bimatrix game under entropy environment. In this new approach, the entropy function for each player are considered as objectives to the bimatrix game. This formulated model is named as Entropy Bimatrix Game Model which is a multi-objective non linear problem. To solve this kind of model, we have introduced a new solution technique, which determin...
