the method of entropy production minimization for finding energy efficient paths of operation of process equipment is first presented using an instructive example with optimal control theory. with refer-ence to the earlier investigations, the researchers present some design rules that relate to the designs’ en-tropy production. minimum entropy production is not obtained in special cases, not ge...

the time evaluation of quantum entropy in a four-level double- type atomic system is theoretically investigated. quantum entanglement of the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed via quantum entropy. it is found that the degree of entanglement can be increased by the quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission. the phase dependence of the atom-field entanglement is...

Shannon entropy is increasingly used in many applications. In this article, an estimator of the entropy of a continuous random variable is proposed. Consistency and scale invariance of variance and mean squared error of the proposed estimator is proved and then comparisons are made with Vasicek's (1976), van Es (1992), Ebrahimi et al. (1994) and Correa (1995) entropy estimators. A simulation st...

In this paper, Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy is studied using mathematical modeling of an observer $ Theta $. The relative entropy of a sub-$ sigma_Theta $-algebra having finite atoms is defined and then   the ergodic properties of relative  semi-dynamical systems are investigated.  Also,  a relative version of Kolmogorov-Sinai theorem  is given. Finally, it is proved  that the relative entropy of a...

the purpose of this paper is to investigate the egm method and the behavior of a solid particle suspended in a twodimensional rectangular cavity due to conjugate natural convection. a thermal lattice boltzmann bgk model is implemented to simulate the two dimensional natural convection and the particle phase was modeled using the lagrangian–lagrangian approach where the solid particles are treat...

We extend the results of Walters on the uniqueness of invariant measures with maximal entropy on compact groups to an arbitrary locally compact group. We show that the maximal entropy is attained at the left Haar measure and the measure of maximal entropy is unique.

In this paper, a new invariant called {it logic entropy} for dynamical systems on a D-poset is introduced. Also, the {it conditional logical entropy} is defined and then some of its properties are studied.  The invariance of the {it logic entropy} of a system  under isomorphism is proved. At the end,  the notion of an $ m $-generator of a dynamical system is introduced and a version of the Kolm...

By replacing linear averaging in Shannon entropy with Kolmogorov-Nagumo average (KN-averages) or quasilinear mean and further imposing the additivity constraint, Rényi proposed the first formal generalization of Shannon entropy. Using this recipe of Rényi, one can prepare only two information measures: Shannon and Rényi entropy. Indeed, using this formalism Rényi characterized these additive en...

The current study focuses on the problem of determining investment attrаctiveness of countries by means of monitoring regional stock markets. The method of using the permutation entropy as a model of investment attractiveness estimation is suggested. We have calculated the permutation entropy for the time series of stock markets of countries for the period from 2005 to 2018. The countries with ...
