Generalizing the notion of relative entropy, the difference between a priori and a posteriori relative entropy for quantum systems is drawn. The former, known as quantum relative entropy, is associated with quantum states recognition. The latter—a posteriori relative quantum entropy is introduced and shown to be related with state reconstruction due to the following property: given a density op...

automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. however, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. in this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (ldp), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. an ldp feat...

For two gaussian states with given correlation matrices, in order that relative entropy between them is practically calculable, I in this paper describe the ways of transforming the correlation matrix to matrix in the exponential density operator. Gaussian relative entropy of entanglement is proposed as the minimal relative entropy of the gaussian state with respect to separable gaussian state ...

In this paper, we consider structure preserving measure transforms for time-changed Lévy processes. Within this class of transforms preserving the time-changed Lévy structure, we derive equivalent martingale measures minimizing relative q-entropy. Structure preservation is found to be an inherent property of minimal q-entropy martingale measures under continuous time changes, whereas it imposes...

Recently there has been an extensive study on Relative Semi-Dynamical Systems (RSD-Systems). In this paper, we explore some topological properties of RSD-systems. Here, in particular, minimal RSD-systems are characterized and transitive homeomorphisms are investigated. Moreover, α-level relative topological entropy is extended to RSD-systems. Finally, as a computational example, we develop an R...

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...

Works, briefly surveyed here, are concerned with two basic methods: Maximum Probability and Bayesian Maximum Probability; as well as with their asymptotic instances: Relative Entropy Maximization and Maximum Non-parametric Likelihood. Parametric and empirical extensions of the latter methods – Empirical Maximum Maximum Entropy and Empirical Likelihood – are also mentioned. The methods are viewe...

let h be a finite dimensional complex hilbert space, b(h)+ be the set of all positive semi-definite operators on h and phi is a (not necessarily linear) unital map of b(h) + preserving the entropy-gibbs transformation. then there exists either a unitary or an anti-unitary operator u on h such that phi(a) = uau* for any b(h) +. thermodynamics, a branch of physics that is concerned with the study...
