In this paper we introduce the concept of entropy operator for continuous systems of finite topological entropy. It is shown that it generates the Kolmogorov entropy as a special case. If $phi$ is invertible then the entropy operator is bounded with the topological entropy of $phi$ as its norm.

This dissertation addresses the problem of capturing the dynamic communi cation in VLSI circuits There are several CAD problems where attributes that combine behavior and structure are needed or when function behavior is too complex and is best captured through some attribute in the implemen tation Examples include timing analysis logic synthesis dynamic power estimation and variable ordering f...

This paper presents KReator, a versatile integrated development environment for probabilistic inductive logic programming currently under development. The area of probabilistic inductive logic programming (or statistical relational learning) aims at applying probabilistic methods of inference and learning in relational or first-order representations of knowledge. In the past ten years the commu...

We introduce a new formal logic, called equality propositional logic. It has two basic connectives, $boldsymbol{wedge}$ (conjunction) and $equiv$ (equivalence). Moreover, the $Rightarrow$ (implication) connective can be derived as $ARightarrow B:=(Aboldsymbol{wedge}B)equiv A$. We formulate the equality propositional logic and demonstrate that the resulting logic has reasonable properties such a...

The Rényi entropy is a generalization of Shannon entropy to a one-parameter family of entropies. Tsallis entropy too is a generalization of Shannon entropy. The measure for Tsallis entropy is non-logarithmic. After the introduction of Shannon entropy , the conditional Shannon entropy was derived and its properties became known. Also, for Tsallis entropy, the conditional entropy was introduced a...

With the miniaturization and portability of online detection and grading equipment, traditional PC is being replaced with ARM or DSP embedded systems in beef quality grading industry. As the low basic frequency of embedded system, the traditional beef marbling segmentation method can not meet requirements of real-time performance. The fast segmentation algorithm of beef marbling based on image ...

Entropy is a measure of probabilistic uncertainty. In 1957, E.T. Jaynes introduced his idea of the principle of Maximum Entropy. This idea states that by finding a distribution with the maximum entropy, one maximizes the uncertainty constrained to the given information. In essence, this involves using all of the known information, and assuming nothing about the distribution. In this report, we ...

The paper presents a Design Space Exploration (DSE) experiment which has been carried out in order to determine the optimum FPGA–based Variable-Length Decoder (VLD) computing resource and its associated instructions, with respect to an entropy decoding task which is to be executed on the FPGA-augmented TriMedia/CPU64 processor. We first outline the extension of the TriMedia/CPU64 architecture, ...

The paper deals with true random number generators employing oscillator rings and namely with the one proposed by Sunar et al. in 2007 and enhanced by Wold and Tan in 2009. Our mathematical analysis shows that both architectures behave identically when composed of the same number of rings and ideal logic components. However, the reduction of the number of rings, as proposed by Wold and Tan, wou...
