We produce a probabilistic space from logic, both classical and quantum, which is in addition partially ordered in such a way that entropy is monotone. In particular do we establish the following equation: Quantitative Probability = Logic +…

In this article, we analyze three classes of time-reversal of a Markov process with Gaussian noise on a manifold. We first unveil a commutativity constraint for the most general of these time-reversals to be well defined. Then we give a…

We provide geometrical interpretation of the Master Theorem to solve divide-and-conquer recurrences. We show how different cases of the recurrences correspond to different kinds of fractal images. Fractal dimension and Hausdorff measure are…

Let $X$ be a measure space and $T:X\to X$ a measurable transformation. For any measurable $E\subseteq X$ and $x\in E$, the possibly infinite return time is $n_E(x):=\inf\{n>0: T^n x\in E\}$. If $T$ is an ergodic tranformation of the…

The log-periodic equation for the entropy $S = - (k/a) \sum_{i=1}^{N} p_{i} \sin(a \ln p_{i})$, based on the forgotten Sharma-Taneja entropy measure, is studied for the first time with $N$ the total number of system states and $p_{i}$ the…

We study entropy-bounded computational geometry, that is, geometric algorithms whose running times depend on a given measure of the input entropy. Specifically, we introduce a measure that we call range-partition entropy, which unifies and…
