Entropy flux and Lagrange multipliers: information theory and thermodynamics

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We analyze the relation between the nonequilibrium Lagrange multipliers used in information theory and those used in Liu's technique to exploit the entropy inequality. We observe that there is not a complete equivalence between Liu's technique and information theory.
